Writing an abstract can be a difficult task, especially if you have never done it before. Come to this workshop to learn abstract-writing basics and to work on your own rough draft. This workshop will be especially helpful to those who need an abstract to register to present at one of KU's student presentation events, but the event is open to any undergraduates interested in refining their abstract-writing skills. This workshop is usually held before a student presentation event in the spring, summer, and fall semesters.
