    • The fundamentals of communication and mastering presentations
    • Writing, Organizing, and Delivering an Effective Presentation
    • Integrating multimedia into your presentation

To participate, applicants must commit to participation in all training activities. In addition, participants must be willing to have their final video presentation be included in CSCH dissemination efforts.
