Decks & Learning

During my eighteen months in the Student Affairs Division at Emerson College, part of my role was organizing content for the quarterly all-hands meeting. As my work progressed, we implemented new design factors to support both presenters and audiences — new clarity around expectations for accessibility, breaks and standing periods.

  • Slide 1: Reducing friction for presenters to set up live captioning at Divisional Meeting events was important.
  • Slide 5: Setting expectations for participants around microphone useage was important.
  • Slide 7: Welcome and Announcements section
  • Slide 11: Reminders and Updates section

All of this helped to create better communication around these meetings. An additional piece of communication was added in mid-2025 at the beginning of the academic year with a pre- and post-meeting email. The pre-email outlined guest speakers, agenda items, and confirmed location and time. The post-email contained details of the slide deck (including slides used by guests) as well as any post-meeting follow up that was required.

Delivered over the course of a two-day retreat for leaders within the Student Affairs Division, this workshop encouraged participants to think in a more structured way about deliverables related to communication.
