The School of Liberal Arts Speaker’s Lab is a free, on-campus resource for all IUPUI students taking R110 and welcomes students seeking to improve their presentation and speaking skills in an informal, hands-on, comfortable setting.
Student mentors will work with you either in person or online through Zoom to help you build confidence, overcome anxiety, and develop valuable career skills.
One-on-one consultation
The lab has 780 square feet of workspace for five computer workstations and one Computer/Scheduling Reception space. It also includes three additional soundproof recording and practice rooms, equipped with video recording equipment and a computer and monitor to allow students the ability to digitally record and transmit their presentation to cloud-based services.
The Speaker’s Lab employs Communication Studies graduate students and undergraduate workers across many IUPUI campus academic disciplines. They are available for one-on-one consultations for any part of the presentation process—from generating a powerful thesis, crafting persuasive and ethical arguments to polishing your delivery.
Our student mentors are ready to help, no matter what your situation or pre-existing level of skill. Take advantage of the service and improve your presentation and oral communication skills. You’ll become more at ease and a better presenter.
Appointments are available Monday through Thursday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm and usually run a half hour in length. Additional time can be accommodated.
