Many of you are engaged in undergraduate research in your classes, and you may be presenting some of that work at the college’s Undergraduate Research Fair and/or at the University of Oregon’s Undergraduate Research Symposium. Many of you are also wonderful fiction writers, painters, photographers, poets, song writers, and other types of writers and artists. It’s time to start publishing your work!

This publication workshop covers several aspects of the publication process:

• where to find places to submit your work,
• how to submit it,
• what to expect in response, and
• how to track submissions and publications.

Don’t forget that Lane Community College has its own journal, Denali, where you can send work!

When you do have work published, be sure to add that information to your CV and resume. See this Curriculum (CV) Workshop for more details.

Our Regional Coordinator, Michelle Gietl, and the regional officers have done an amazing job creating a virtual Spring Convention! May 15 and 16 are packed with presentations and workshops with topics ranging from scholarships to public speaking to what to do once you are a chapter officer. There is also an awards gala on May 16 from 5:00-7:00 PST.

If you’ve registered, you’ll receive the schedule in an email message.

You can still register for this free event: registration form

Follow our region on Facebook for fellowship opportunities during the convention!
