"I used the Practice Presentation Room before my class and I was very impressed! The directions on how to use the computer were clear, and the room is pleasant and quiet. My team and I spent about an hour in there working on our presentation and it helped so much. We were able to fix spelling errors and work out the order of our PowerPoint slides."

The ASPSU has partnered with the Office of Information Technology (OIT) and with the Library to equip and furnish a new Student Practice Presentation Room (Library #304) to enhance student access to Library services. This room will help students gain experience and confidence for their in-class presentations by providing them with the same computing and presentation equipment they encounter in "technology smart" classrooms on campus. Additionally, this technology-rich room can be used by students for small-group seminars, discussions, and digital video-viewing sessions. |

The room is furnished with a modular conference table that can be moved into different configurations, a large whiteboard, and eight comfortable chairs. Room Guidelines
