Spring 2010 Speaking Center Mini-workshops:

The Art of Speech Performance – February 2nd @ 5 p.m. Combs 139

Not a Steve Jobs? Inspired by a Martin Luther King speech? Come and learn the art of public speaking and delivery.

Proceed with Caution- March 18th @ 5p.m. Combs 237
Arguing an unpopular point can undermine your presentation, unless you play your cards right. Learn how to give a speech on a controversial topic without alienating your audience.

Effective Visual Aids and Alternatives to PowerPoint-April 6th @ 6pm Combs 139
We've all seen hundreds of PowerPoint presentations- what we rarely see are new and innovative technologies that bring a new spin to visual aids within speeches. Come learn new and unique ways to brighten up your presentations and boost your grades. We will highlight what NOT to do with PowerPoint and introduce new presentation methods such as Prezi.

All workshops will be preceded by pizza and light refreshments and will meet at the Speaking Center.  Call x 1347 or e-mail spkc@umw.edu to reserve a spot.
