1. Publish and Thrive Challenge
May 17 – May 21
Online via Email
Join Fogler Library the week of May 17-21 for the Publish and Thrive Challenge! Each day, for five days, you will receive an email with brief tasks designed to build your publishing acumen, including identifying where to publish and present your work, understanding your rights as an author, and increasing the visibility of your work. Additionally, you will have opportunities to share your own insights and experiences and hear from UMaine faculty and graduate students who are publishing and presenting in a wide range of disciplines. This is an online, asynchronous program, so you can work at your own pace!
RSVP to join us! Everyone is welcome to participate – this Challenge will be especially resonant for graduate students and early career scholars. This program is sponsored by Fogler Library and the Graduate School.
