Win Prizes While Preparing for Finals at the 12 Days of Presentation U!
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 1, 2014) — Presentation U! invites the campus community to get help with final projects and win a free gift in the process.
The "12 Days of Presentation U!" will take place Dec. 1-12 on the first level of Champions Court I (Presentation U's new north location). Any student coming in for tutoring at this location may spin a wheel for a chance to win a prize, such as candy, UK branded items, and gift cards. While there, students can receive free tutoring assistance for final speeches, papers, and digital presentations.
"We are trying to infuse a little fun into the end-of-semester activities for students," said Deanna Sellnow, assistant provost for transformative learning and faculty director of Presentation U! "We know students can feel a bit stressed about getting all their class projects done during this crunch time."
While Presentation U! is also located @the Hub in B-24 of the William T. Young Library, the 12 Days of Presentation U! will only take place at the north location in Champions Court I.
Presentation U! sponsors student tutoring as well as faculty development opportunities in multimodal communication skills. For students, peer tutors offer free assistance for any form of oral, written, and visual/digital communication. This could include improving a final paper, practicing a final presentation, getting help with APA or MLA style, or working on the content and organization of a digital or visual project like PowerPoint, Prezi, websites, and videos.
Students can make an appointment through the website, but walk-ins are also welcome. Presentation U! North will be open from 3-9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday at the Champions Court I location. A full list of hours for both locations can be found here.
The Presentation U! tutoring center was born out of the Quality Enhancement Plan proposed for re-accreditation for the university through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Presentation U! also offers a Faculty Fellows program for instructors seeking to infuse multimodal communication instruction and assignments into their courses, as well as the Certified Nonprofit Professional co-curricular program for students interested in gaining leadership experience in the nonprofit sector.
