ETL/Group Presentation Practice Lab
The Sheldon B. Lubar School of Business has used Differential Tuition funds to develop a new lab for student use. The ETL/Group Presentation Practice Lab is designed to give business students a place to practice and fine-tune their group presentation skills. As more courses and employers require individuals to be able to make effective presentations, the need to develop those skills has never been greater. However, because of the high demand for classrooms in Lubar Hall, such a resource has not been available to meet this need until now. 

Tuition Differential funds have permitted adding appropriate technology to an existing work space and convert it to a lab that is available only to business students.  The upgraded lab (room N223), now called the ETL/Group Presentation Practice Lab, has a projector, a VCR/DVD player, computer, and laptop hookup. This facility will allow student groups to practice their presentations in an environment similar to a classroom — allowing them to work out kinks and hone their skills.

The room is reserved on a first-come, first-served basis with a few days set aside for use as the ETL Lab. Students may visit www.sba.uwm.edu/projectroom/ for more information and to check on the room’s current availability. The website also serves as a request form to make a reservation to use the room. 

As a new technology service of the Sheldon B. Lubar School of Business, some process issues potentially remain to be developed. Student cooperation, feedback, and input will be critical to the lab’s success. Suggestions or observations that you may have as you begin to use the room are welcome.
