150th Events: Submit your Mav Talk

Page address: https://web.mnsu.edu/150/events/mavtalk.html

These brief presentations are an opportunity for faculty and staff to share history of the university as well as big ideas and real world thinking.

Must meet the “Criteria for inclusion in Sesquicentennial events.”
Should be “15.0” minutes in length
Could be “solo” or grouped with other Mav Talks (recommend no more than three at one sitting).
A Mav Talk could be partnered with a larger invent (e.g., to introduce or to contextualize a guest speaker or activity).
We plan to record these talks for our archives (Cornerstone). We will ask you to sign a release form and set up the recording from you.

It is recommended (but not mandated) that the topic be somehow connected to the history of our university (department, program, activity, facility, etc.).
A topic could explore the “First, Best, Only” concept about any aspect of the university.
The speaker is advised to not cover too broad a topic—15 minutes is a very limited amount of time.
The speaker should take into consideration the target audience for this information (e.g., students; faculty/staff; community), so we can inform that segment of the public.
A Mav Talk should have some additional time set aside for Q&A afterwards.
