"How To" Week: Presentations 

The Mungo Center presents a special "How To" week with four events aimed at helping you develop effective presentation skills.

All events will take place in The Mungo Center for Professional Excellence
The Michael S. Brown Village Center (formerly Phase V Bldg.)

People who know how to effectively present information are typically the most successful in all walks of life. Presenting skills are critically important. From job interviews, to pitching an idea at work, to providing information to boards or volunteer organizations, requesting promotions, getting new business… even marriage proposals. All of these are presentations of one kind or another. When you have something important to say, effective presentation skills ensure others will pay attention.  

EVENTS:

Tuesday, November 13:
“How To: Deliver an Effective Presentation,” 6 p.m.
Jennifer Dillenger, Director of Career Services, will discuss how to create and deliver a presentation that informs and influences your audience.

Wednesday, November 14:
Presentation Skills Working Session, 7 p.m.
One of the most popular interview questions is “Tell me about yourself.” Learn how to effectively present yourself during an interview, on an elevator or anytime you meet someone new.
