Hi JC,

Below is a proposal for a potential visit to Duquesne. As I mentioned on our call, everything here is fully customizable based on your goals, student needs, and scheduling priorities. I’m happy to shape the content and format in a way that feels most impactful for your community.

I also want to be mindful of budget considerations, so I’m open to adjusting scope and fee as needed to make this a great fit for everyone.

For context, I’ve included examples of talks and workshops I’ve given this year at Vanderbilt and NSU, which can serve as a starting point for what we might build together.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and continue refining this with you.
