You must now create the meeting agenda for the Internship Manual Meeting.
A meeting agenda should include at a minimum:
- Date, time, location (even if it is zoom)
- Identified purpose of meeting
- Times for each discussion point and the person leading the discussion
For the agenda assignment content:
1. Think about two (2) things you think should be a part of this manual. Identify the two items as the first two topics for discussion on the agenda. *List the topic title and make sure to include that YOU will be leading this part of the meeting discussion.
2. Feedback from your initial meeting with Dr. Jocelyn Elders, Mirta Roses Pirago, and Vikram Patel identified potential areas for discussion at this new meeting. To be respectful of their input, select any three (3) topics from the lists below (unique to what you already have on the agenda) and research an article about them so you are prepared to engage in conversation. Make sure to include: the name as the lead since it is the topic they are interested in and, so we know where you did your research, include a link to the web source where you found information about the topics you decided to add to the agenda.
Dr. Jocelyn Elders could be the lead for the following topics:
- How to ask your supervisor for feedback?
- How and when to ask questions and voice your opinion?
- How to understand your supervisor’s working style and goals?
Mirta Roses Pirago could be the lead for the following topics:
- How do you learn the organization’s office culture?
- What are the preferred communication styles and techniques for the organization and your colleagues? (F2F, email, video chats, daily, weekly…?)
- How to meet deadlines and limit distractions when working from home.
- Creating a professional environment both in-person and virtually.
Vikram Patel could be the lead for the following topics:
- Work-life balance and creating boundaries
- How to request a letter of recommendation
- What “soft skills” are important in the office
Your agenda must include:
- Date, time, location (even if it is zoom)
- Identified purpose of meeting
- Two ideas for the manual you have with discussion times and you as the leader
- Three ideas for the manual from the provided list, a link to information for each idea, discussion times, and identified leader
