Description
WI's Happy Hour Microtalks, held on Zoom once or twice a semester since March 2024, are a great way to connect with colleagues near and far. Lounge and listen, or regale us with a story about something meaningful to you: a favorite trip, cooking feat or hack, exhibition, book, movie, artwork/craft, volunteer activities, sports passion, research focus, silliest prank, favorite possession, surprising moment, whatever! After a brief introduction each presenter will have 6 minutes to regale us. Maximum 6 presenters per Happy Hour.
We will "curate" topics for variety's sake so don't be sad if your topic doesn't get picked. We will have many future happy hours! Remember: Presenting is not a requirement for attending. Just write "no Topic" and come lift a glass, listen, and chat!
Sign up to present or just to attend. Either way, lift a glass with us during the AY25-26 WI Happy Hour Microtalks, 5-6pm Eastern on November 12, 2025.
A sample microtalk can be viewed under past events > microtalks at wisdom.umbc.edu.
