Public Speaking Lab

In this deep-dive extension of one of our most popular public speaking classes, participants will be challenged to advance their established public speaking skillset.

Through the use of in-depth case studies, lecture and group work, you will learn to grow beyond abilities of a novice speaker and develop tools of a seasoned professional. Over the course of this six-week lab, you will develop and deliver three comprehensive presentations that will be evaluated by your peers and instructors.
