About this Event
Before a team can communicate clearly to the outside world, it needs internal clarity. This workshop helps students create shared language around what they are building, why it matters, who is responsible for what, and how decisions should be made.
Many projects lose momentum not because the idea is weak, but because the people behind it are working from different assumptions. This session gives participants a structured way to surface those assumptions early: how the work is described, what success looks like, who owns key responsibilities, and what expectations need to be named before they become friction.
The workshop is especially useful for student teams, co-founders, creative collaborators, research groups, campus organizations, and anyone building something with other people.
Who Should Attend
· Student teams developing a venture, campaign, club initiative, research project, product concept, creative work, or community program.
· Students navigating unclear roles, decision rights, contribution expectations, or inconsistent language.
· Solo students who want a stronger internal framework before recruiting collaborators or asking for support.
What Participants Will Learn
· Create shared language for describing the work.
· Identify role, responsibility, and decision-making assumptions.
