Interest Group Presentation & Policy Brief
Our Interest Group Topic is : AIDS United
Students should :
• Summarize their findings in a 1-2 PAGE, SINGLE-SPACED MEMO.
• Make sure that you familiarize yourself with the correct formatting for a
MEMO using APA 7th ed.
• The Memo Will Provide A More In-Depth Look At The Factors That
Might Be Briefly Outlined In The PPT when the topics are repeated in both
the PPT and Memo
• Follow the grading rubric for content to be presented in the memo ****
NOTE: Since this is a group assignment, I am Only responsible for the Memo
NOT the PPT as another student from group will work on that….so NO PPT
needs to be done from my part. However, I am also including the “PPT topics to be
Discussed “ Below just in case for Reference so that Memo matches with topics in
PPT.
