- 10:00 AM2hPublic Speaking Skills for Teaching, Presenting, and Job TalksMany graduate students and professors have a "sink or swim" experience transitioning to teaching larger/lecture classes and giving job talks or conference papers. Most never took public speaking, nor learned elements of effective vocal, nonverbal, or visual communication. Sadly, these deficiencies in delivery can overshadow subject matter expertise and sound scholarship in public speaking contexts, costing credibility. Participants will learn how to implement these principles and practices in the preparation and execution of online, PowerPoint, and extemporaneous presentations, and will have the opportunity to share their slides or recordings in advance for critique. INSTRUCTOR: Abram Trosky (Professor of Applied Communication at Army War College). Please register by Sunday, September 28th. Interested in being notified of upcoming webinars?

- 4:00 PM1hFlyway of Life, Reception, Conversation, and Film Screening"Flyway of Life" highlights how different environments are important for bird populations along the Atlantic Flyway. Featuring wildlife scientists, conservationists, and naturalists, the film explores several different ecosystems along America's easternmost migration path—showing how different habitats are interconnected. From Canada's frozen tundra to the lush Costa Rican jungle, viewers will see how birds connect both our ecosystems and our own relationship with the natural world. Tomas Koeck is an award-winning filmmaker, Canon USA-backed photographer, speaker/presenter, and expeditionist. He's a storyteller, an environmentalist, and, most importantly, an optimist. He has been on assignment for National Geographic, Smithsonian Channel, PBS Nature, and others covering stories throughout North America and seeks to give a voice to wildlife through journalism, storytelling, and advocacy. The exhibition received support from Sacred Heart University Media & the Arts, in partnership with The Explorers Club New England Chapter, Canon USA, the Connecticut Audubon Society the National Audubon Society and the Nancy Spofford Yerkes Foundation. Tomas Koeck, a Sacred Heart alumnus, received a 2024 Connecticut Sea Grant Arts Support Award for his Flyway of Life project, which supported the publication of a companion book to the film.

This pathway includes a spiritual component, Higher Power, that is unique to each individual, and that may evolve or change completely over time. 12 Step Recovery at UConn is intended to provide exposure and practice with 1) 12 Steps overall with a strong focus on the first three Steps, 2) primary program components, literature, and guiding principles, and 3) building a community of support and fellowship. 12 Step Recovery is an abstinence-based program designed originally to support people living with addiction to substances; however, it has grown to include other types of addictions and problem behaviors. Meetings are facilitated by students for students. UConn Storrs offers a weekly in-person meeting on campus at Cordial Storrs House, as well as a weekly meeting that is online only.
