First Generation Student Initiatives @ Illinois

In this interactive workshop, we will talk about strategies to cope with communication apprehension for first-gen college students as they navigate the terrain of academic life. We will include activities and hands-on practice for students to build confidence and find their authentic voices when preparing for class presentations, research presentations, group meetings, and other public speaking contexts. Students are welcome to participate online or in person. Food will be provided for in-person attendees.  

Zoom link for students joining virtual will be shared later!
