Let's Impress! Developing Your Presentation Skills: Scholars will learn about presenting themselves well during online meetings.

Scholars will address the following questions:
- What is one idea you have about presenting yourself well as a student in an online college class?

- What are particular things to avoid?
- What are considerations if you were giving a presentation in class?
