Presentation Practice Rooms

Two Presentation Practice Rooms for UHM students to use are located in the Science and Technology area of the first floor of the Hamilton Library Addition. Each room is equipped with a Windows computer, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Viewers, an LCD projector, projection screen, white board, and a work table with chairs. The first of their kind on campus, the Presentation Practice Rooms give students the opportunity to rehearse a presentation before giving it at a conference, in class, or for an interview. There is enough space to have a small peer audience critique the presentation. Students can bring their own cameras to video a presentation and critique it for improvement.
