Webinars Worth Watching Final Round

Virtual programming and presentations, such as webinars, are becoming more and more common in education and the workforce. But how many webinars have you been to that are boring, where you end up browsing the Internet? Graduate students need to be able to present their work and research digitally, as well as communicate the information effectively and quickly within the virtual programming tool.\

The UNCG Graduate School and UNCG University Libraries will have a competition for face-to-face and online graduate students to determine who can give the most effective webinar or virtual presentation in 10 minutes. We will put out a call for proposals to all of the graduate programs and select students to compete. Over 1 week, the competition will run virtual webinar sessions of multiple students in each session, with 3-4 finalists selected based on a rubric. At the end of the week, we will have one virtual session of 3-4 students and declare a winner.

The competition will run the last week of February 16-20, with the finals landing on:

Friday, February 20, 2026 at 2pm EST.
