This is a hybrid event. You can attend in-person at UNO Maverick Landing Launchpad, 6640 Pine St, Omaha, NE 68106, or via zoom.

As a faculty member or researcher, it is not unusual to receive requests from the media to comment on public issues in your role as an expert. It takes some thought and time to craft memorable messages that stick with audiences, approach media interviews confidently, and navigate challenging questions. 

Join Nebraska SSN for a hybrid workshop led by Erin Grace, for an insider's guide on how to:

• Prepare for interviews
• Translate your work to a general audience
• Follow up post-interview
