Bio

Because my blog insists on being fussy for the moment, I'm temporarily going to put my bio here until it decides to behave and allow me to put it in the "About Me" section.

Katie Goergen

B.A., English, Clemson University
M.A., Professional Communication, Clemson University, Candidate

In the course of my studies I have focused most of my attention on proposal writing. I have conducted a usability test that examines this process as a birth-to-death cycle beginning with the creation of the Request For Proposal (RFP) to the eventual acceptance/rejection of the proposal itself. I have worked with a number of different faculty and grant officers within the university to continue building upon this knowledge to better understand the components necessary to write a winning proposal.

Along with this vested interest in proposal writing, I also have experience creating websites and creating and implementing university programs. While at Clemson, I have participated in a number of faculty’s funded research programs such as the Freshman Alcohol Awareness program, and the Community Coalition research program in which Clemson is working to assist and collaborate with local community coalitions to work towards a healthier community. I assisted in creating and conducting the Research Training Program which is coordinated through Clemson and Voorhees College. In regards to websites, I helped design and currently maintain the department of Public Health Sciences website.
