Welcome to the Comm Lab

COMM Lab coaches work one-on-one with undergraduate and graduate students to practice delivering presentations for classes, 3MT and academic conferences. 

Each appointment will begin with students delivering their completed presentation, followed by personalized one-on-one feedback and expert guidance from a trained presentation coach.

The lab also offers personalized instruction to students experiencing communication apprehension or "stage fright".  

In-person and virtual appointments are available.

In-person appointments take place at Alkek Library, in room 304.
