How do I write an eye-catching cover letter or an abstract?

How do I break through imposter syndrome?

The Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creativity Office (URSCO) is holding workshops to tackle the issues most likely to impact students, whether they’re in their first year at UNCG or getting ready for graduate or professional degrees.

Some workshops emphasize best research practices, but other sessions are applicable to all students, helping them develop skills that will benefit them at UNCG and well into whatever career they pursue.

Topics include: 

• How to write an abstract 
• The difference between a CV and a resume 
• Understanding imposter syndrome and how to combat it 
• Crafting the perfect elevator pitch 

The workshops run through November. URSCO asks all faculty and staff to help get the word out to students who would benefit. Times and dates are easy to find on its events page. Each topic has two sessions, so that students can find a time that works with their schedule.

For those students specifically interested in engaging in undergraduate research, URSCO Director and Marie Foscue Rourk Distinguished Professor Mitch Croatt, Ph.D. recently shared this blog post on why students benefit from undergraduate research experiences and how they can get started.
