The Speech Center, a part of Learning Support Services located in the Student Success Center, is offering in-classroom presentations and workshops throughout this spring semester.

These can include practical tips and workshops for various aspects of public speaking and presentations, or simply a brief overview of the services we offer to students.  

If you have a class where students are required to give presentations and you think that they could benefit from our guidance, we would love to set up an in-classroom presentation at your convenience.
