Students, faculty, and staff may come to the Speech Center for preparation assistance and videotaped practice assessment prior to giving a speech, participating in a forum or panel discussion, or scheduling an interview. Trained student speech consultants staff the Speech Center at all three locations. A resource library, located at the main Speech Center in Webb Tower, contains sample student presentations, speeches by noted individuals, and self-study programs on laser-disc and CD-ROM which address particular aspects of public speaking. The main center is equipped for PowerPoint, overhead, multi-media, flip chart, and slide presentations. Anyone wishing to make an appointment is asked to: (1) sign up on the reservations boards on-site, or call at least two days in advance, and (2) bring notes, any visual aid resources, and a videotape to the appointment.
