Have you ever wondered how to effectively use PowerPoint, address a large audience, answer questions on the fly, get your ideas across to a general audience, or just conquer the raging butterflies that accompany the mere thought of presenting a paper in public? The Junior Scholar Committee of ASOR has the answer to these questions and many more. We invite you to a roundtable lunch on "Presenting the Perfect Paper" by Dr. Michael Homan of Xavier University. Dr. Homan, the author of The Bible for Dummies among other notable books, works as both an archaeologist and textual scholar. His witty personality ensures an entertaining lunch discussing the intricacies of paper presentations.
"Grab and Go" lunches will be provided but lunch and space are limited to the first 60 people registered. Please register now .
Details will soon be posted on the annual Junior Scholars infomal Meet and
Greet. Check back for further updates!
