Practice Your 3-Minute Thesis Presentation at U-CAN-SPEAK!

It was great meeting many new faces on clubs’ day this week! Please come and join us for our special three-minute thesis workshop this Monday (26 Jul) and our open night the week after (2 Aug).

For the workshop this Monday, we only have two slots left for any UC postgrads who are keen on giving their thesis-in-three talk in front of our friendly audience with helpful and constructive feedback from an evaluator! Don’t let this unique opportunity go to waste – simply flick us a quick message by the end of today (Friday) to secure your speech slot 🙂

All of our upcoming meetings are held in Rehua 529 and start at 7pm sharp, so we recommend you arrive a wee bit early. See you all there!

Sunshine and smiles at Dovedale

It was fantastic to meet so many students at the Dovedale Clubs’ Day. Improving academic presentations, being persuasive, working on oral fluency in English, taking up leadership opportunities, acting as chair, becoming a better conversationalist, developing discussion and public relations skills: these are the objectives that our visitors have set for themselves. U-CAN-SPEAK delivers this.
