    #STRongerTogether Membership Engagement Activities:

    We have the pleasure to share with you a great set and variety of membership engagement activities for the pre-Easter period.

    Enjoy!

    STR Membership Engagement Committee (MEC)
    Virtual writing retreat (March 12th 9AM EDT, 3PM CET), Moderators: Eunice Rhee (Seattle University) & Vivian Guo (CEIBS)

    STR Division invites you to join the March virtual writing retreat. This month, we invite Professor Tim Pollock (U Tennessee, Knoxville) to discuss the importance of storytelling in academic writing based on his new book. He will focus on using the structure and techniques of effective storytelling to enhance your writing's clarity, presentation, and flow. After a 40-minute talk (including a Q&A session), we will have two 35-minute writing sprints. Bring your coffee, wear your comfy pants, and tune out all distractions to work on your writing with your fellow STR members! If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering to host future writing retreats, please email Eunice Rhee or Vivian Guo, STR Membership Engagement Committee members, at rhee@seattleu.edu or weivivian.guo@ceibs.edu.
