Testimonials

"I just wanted to follow up and extend a big thank you for your advice a few weeks ago. I gave my presentation at the NC Geographic Information Science conference on March 1 and felt so much more confident after implementing your suggestions for a better introduction and conclusion.

Additionally, thank you for advising me to use the mouse to point rather than turning around to point at the screen. What a difference that makes! I saw other people doing that all day, and you were right -- that is a good way to lose the audience.

Thank you again, it was a pleasure working with you and I really appreciate your help."

--Best Regards, Anita Henderson, UNCG Grad Student

"I want you to know that not once did a student say that the Speaking Center was unhelpful. The staff of the Speaking Center helped every student that visited. I seriously cannot imagine our university without the Speaking Center. Your services are so beneficial to students and faculty. It is wonderful to advise and encourage students to visit--especially those students needing extra help."
--Cindy Dew, CST

"I thoroughly enjoyed last week's [workshop] presentation. Public speaking is a weakness of mine and I found the information and examples provided very helpful. I have utilized the speaking center [one-on one tutoring] services and would highly recommend them to anyone who struggles with public speaking."
--MPH Student, February 2005

"I felt as though I had more confidence in public speaking when I left the [workshop] presentation. I plan on using the articles and the knowledge that I gained from them to help in [my] future presentations. I liked the way they were so excited about providing us with this information and that they too used the skills that they were talking about. I may actually go to the speaking center now because I have heard them speak."
