Elective Session
FSU's Discovery Days is a weeklong celebration of research and creativity that has something for everyone — from "Shark Tank”-style business pitch competitions to kid-friendly physics and art projects to events on public health, AI, and more. This annual event, which began in the fall of 2023, has become a fixture in the extended FSU community. While it serves as an internal celebration of our faculty and students, it also has served as a way for us to engage with leaders from various sectors while raising the profile of FSU research. In this workshop, participants will learn the ins and outs of planning the week, how we use it to showcase the positive impacts of university research and tips for planning your own celebration.
