7. Comments We Love – The role playing and audience interaction had a very positive impact on this session. It helped to actively discuss applying this topic at my school. – The dialog with the audience members about what they have seen in their institutions was invaluable. – This was a great session and the handouts that were provided were excellent, something that I brought back and currently am in the process of implementing them on my campus. 7Presenter Preparation Call Image from FreeStockImages.com

8. Comments We Can Improve Upon – Stand up, don't read your presentation, interact with your audience – Can't read the slides – I wish the presenters had provided their materials in advance so I could have had more takeaways. – Presenter read her PPT file word for word and offered nothing I couldn’t get from downloading the handout in advance. 8Presenter Preparation Call Image from FreeStockImages.com
