Virtual Short Talks
If you would like staff to do a short talk via zoom with your class, please inquire via email to HERS@ku.edu or at trina.mcclure@ku.edu. Short talks only take, on average, 10-15 minutes and they give potential applicants an opportunity to engage with a HERS staff member directly.
