**About the Workshop**
This session will prepare participants to deliver high-impact pitches, led by National University faculty and hosted by CBEM and CAVO. Topics include:

* How to structure a clear and compelling pitch
* Common mistakes and how to avoid them
* How to engage your audience in under 5 minutes
* Individual Q&A and personal feedback

Perfect for anyone refining their ideas before the competition—or anyone wanting to sharpen their pitching skills!
