About the Club
The UNBC Presentation Practice Club is dedicated to helping university students enhance their public speaking and presentation skills, in a supportive and engaging environment. We welcome students with all skill levels! All executive members are still developing skills and overcoming nerves. However, they are all motivated to improve their skills and support their peers. We understand some students may have public speaking anxiety, so we aim to create a safe place for everyone to make mistakes and overcome challenges. Join us to build confidence, polish your presentation style, and connect with like-minded peers! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us! (presentationclub@unbc.ca)

Presentation Practice in Empty Classroom
Need practice in a real classroom?
We have a booked classroom available for club members to practice class presentations every Tuesday from 3–4 PM.
Email us saying ‘I want to use the classroom this (or next) Tuesday!’ and we’ll let you know about availability.
We are able to provide constructive feedback regarding your presentation skills if you wish. Let us know if you need some club members as audience of your practice presentation!
