The Polsky Center Investor-in-Residence Tim Kelly, MBA '00, will discuss the ways to build a presentation that communicates your ideas and inspires your audience.

This workshop will help you understand the structure of a “winning” slide deck that helps tell a compelling story. It will be particularly helpful for students participating in the Private Equity Case Competition (PECC).

Cameras on and active participation are encouraged.
