Speaker's Lab
The School of Liberal Arts Speaker’s Lab is a free, on-campus resource for all IU Indianapolis students taking R110. We also welcome students seeking to improve their presentation and speaking skills in an informal, hands-on, comfortable setting. Whether you need assistance in brainstorming topics for your speech, drafting your outline, or practicing your presentation, we are available to assist you. Student mentors provide you with the tools you need to feel comfortable and successful in overcoming your fears.
No matter what class you are preparing your presentation for, our practice rooms and technology can help ensure that you are well-rehearsed.
