“Last year I presented GW's new master of patent practice degree at the UPCEA New Program Showcase.

Even the act of preparing for the showcase was a tremendous benefit, as it caused me to distill the essence of the program and clarify in my own mind was most compelling about it.”

University College, Syracuse University

"In October 2014, I participated in the UPCEA Mid-Atlantic Conference New Program Showcase presenting University College of Syracuse University’s new Certificates in Knowledge Management and Creative Leadership. The New Program Showcase is an opportunity to present and network in a low pressure environment. Questions asked and comments given from continuing education professionals were insightful, direct, and thought-provoking. Showcase feedback enabled me to view my program with fresh eyes and tweak future presentations and marketing materials with a more compelling message. “
