The Global Citizen Forum planning committee seeks presenters for the second annual Faculty and Staff PechaKucha Night March 2 from 4–6:30 p.m. in Turner Jazz Center.

This gathering will leverage a fast-paced visual storytelling format known as PechaKucha. We seek proposals from a wide range of contexts that speak to the Global Citizen Forum theme: Social Impact & Responsibility. 

• Presenters may highlight current or past initiatives, feature course projects, personal scholarship, or community partnerships that are yielding social impact opportunities for students.
• Presentations that focus on challenges and opportunities in the private, public, and non-profit sectors (or across sectors) are all welcome.
• It is recommended that presentation topics align with one (or more!) of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs provide a framework for tackling complex global pressing issues such as poverty, sustainable communities, climate action, and justice.
• All presentations will follow a Pecha-Kucha format and selected presenters will be provided a PowerPoint template.
• Selected presenters will each receive a $75 honorarium for participating.

To apply, submit a brief description (500 max) of the initiative, project, course, or research you would like to present and how it exemplifies the theme of Social Impact & Responsibility. Submission Form

Proposals are due Jan. 20, 2023
