The University Library is excited to announce the opening of the Speaking Center this fall!

Students can receive free and personalized public speaking assistance for any presentation and at any stage in the preparation process; Speaking Center staff work with students to improve their delivery skills, visual aids, presentation content, and organization, all with an eye toward building long-term speaking skills.

Students can work one-on-one with a trained Speaking Consultant to improve presentations and speeches, attend workshops focused on building lasting speaking skills, or participate in language sessions to build foreign language skills. Students can sign up by visiting https://www.library.illinois.edu/tlas/speaking-center/.

At this time, graduate and professional students may only register for Wednesday appointments. Undergraduate students may register for any available appointment. For questions contact speakingcenter@library.illinois.edu.

Thanks to María Emerson of the University Library for this information item.
