Hamilton Library Presentation Practice Rooms
Two Presentation Practice Rooms for students to use are located in the Science and Technolgoy area of the first floor of the Hamilton Library Addition. Each room is equipped with a Windows computer, Microsoft Office including PowerPoint, an LCD projector, projection screen, white board, and a work table with chairs. The first of their kind on campus, the Presentation Practice Rooms give students the opportunity to rehearse a presentation before giving it at a conference, in class, or for an interview. There is enough space to have a small peer audience critique the presentation. Students can bring their own cameras to video a presentation and critique it for improvement.
