University faculty are used to staying in the middle of the road on important issues. Sometimes, it’s important to pick and publicize a side. Or to offer perspective on an issue the public thinks it already fully understands. Hear from two  university writers who develop and distribute essays, columns and commentaries for their institutions. Learn the basics of coaching faculty how to develop, write strong opinion pieces. Get tips on pitching to targeted media outlets.

For information, please contact Ruth Borger at rborger@ufl.edu.
