Everybody Talks: How the Presentation Practice Center Can Help You

No matter what you’re majoring in or the level of your public speaking experience, the Presentation Practice Center (PPC) will help you in every stage of a speechmaking or presentation process. From brainstorming and outlining to practicing your final presentation, the PPC will help you polish your professional presentation.

Online PPC Appointments
Once you’ve scheduled an online PPC appointment, you will receive an email on the day of your appointment with a Zoom link to begin a live tutoring session. A tutor will help you with any stage of the speech-making process you need help with and answer your questions.
