Communication is essential at a research university. It’s how ideas transcend the lab or classroom to shape public conversations and have real-world impact. But turning complex topics, dense information, or deep research into compelling messages is a craft of its own. This session offers a toolkit for revealing the human stakes and public relevance in data-heavy or abstract projects, collaborating with faculty experts, and shaping stories to resonate outside of academia. From finding story hooks in working papers to structuring rollout plans that elevate your brand, you’ll leave with practical strategies for transforming research outputs and technical material into engaging content.
