Symposium on Educational Excellence
Annual conference celebrating collaboration in education
Join colleagues for presentations and discussions showcasing innovation in education across OHSU.
Featuring the Angel Shark Tank session
For a beginning researcher or innovator, it can be common to struggle with refining and gaining support for initial small-scale proposals to serve as pilot ideas for future career directions. Modeled after the popular TV series Shark Tank, the Angel Shark Tank session will allow junior investigators to present their proposals to a panel of experts in education and research from around the university. Every participant will leave with gentle, formative feedback, though some could leave with offers of sponsorship or even possibly a small amount of seed money! Presenters are paired with a “dive master,” a faculty coach who helps them refine and practice their presentations in advance.
