New Video to help prepare student presenters:

• The spring conference is a great place for your students to learn the craft of presenting. Thanks to the Honors Program at Tulsa Community College, you can have your students watch mms://streaming.tulsacc.edu/media/dlawless/mona.wmv as a model. Mona Easterling of TCC gave this talk on "Awareness of Emotions and Their Expression" at the Nebraska conference this spring.
