<Title>Getting BIG Projects DONE! - Tomorrow at Noon ONLINE</Title>
<Tagline>Project management skills for graduate students seminar</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Kind reminder,<div><br></div><div>Tomorrow we are hosting our <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/gspd/events/141059" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>Getting BIG Projects DONE</strong></a> seminar with Dr. Ramon Goings. Please join us on <strong>April 10, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ONLINE</strong> for a unique workshop to help you gain skills in getting big projects DONE. That's right: lit reviews, manuscripts, theses, proposals, dissertations - they take a long time, but with the right tools, they can take much less time. Graduate school (and the work you take on after graduate school) often involves long-term projects because the complex problems, ideas, and discoveries we tackle take time. So, how do you manage these projects well and make efficient progress? Dr. Ramon Goings is an associate professor and Acting Director of the Languages, Literature, and Culture doctoral program at UMBC. The author of 14 Secrets to a Done Dissertation, is here to help you navigate the process of finishing BIG work more quickly than you'd imagine. </div><div><br></div><div>Please join us for this great opportunity on <strong>April 10, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM. </strong> </div></div>
