Talking Points

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to scramble your way through a presentation you have no control over? It’s more fun than you think, and you can experience it yourself (or just come to watch!) on Tuesday, October 1, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at the Catherine Callbeck Centre for Entrepreneurship in the Robertson Library (201)! No pre-registration required!

Note: If you would like to participate, please bring a phone or computer that can access wi-fi or cellular data.

MiniPitch

MiniPitch is a low-intensity, high-yield opportunity for 17³Ô¹Ï students to try out doing a three-minute elevator pitch on a business idea you’ve come up with in front of a panel of judges. After your pitch, the judges will get three minutes to ask questions and will end spending two minutes giving you immediate constructive feedback on your pitch. It's a great way to get some early experience delivering an elevator pitch ahead of competitions hosted by the Catherine Callbeck Centre for Entrepreneurship later in the school year.

Gen AI for the Curious Instructor

The Generative AI Taskforce (GAIT) will host two workshops for faculty interested in learning about GenAI. This second workshop will be tailored to the GenAI curious. Attendees will explore one or two GenAI apps and consider how GenAI might be used for course design, learning activity development, or the creation of a rubric. This workshop will be on Wednesday, October 16, at 1:30 pm in the TLC. Colleagues are encouraged to bring a device to this workshop.
