Writing and Speaking Center

About the Writing and Speaking Center

The Writing and Speaking Center is committed to helping all Lincoln students succeed as clear, effective communicators in informal, academic, and professional settings. We encourage you to request a 30-minute meeting with a Writing or Speaking Coach.

Writing

Meet with a Writing Coach at any stage of the writing process. Coaches will guide you to a greater understanding of your writing, helping you identify and correct writing weaknesses, and empowering you to begin editing and revising on your own for success in future projects. (Note: Coaches are not editors and will not correct the grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors of your entire paper.)

Speaking

Prepare yourself for public speaking, including speeches, oral presentations, team presentations, and visual aid demonstrations. Meet with a Presentation Coach for the opportunity to practice a presentation and get immediate feedback on your delivery and content. You will also receive a recording of the presentation for self-critique, providing insight to give a more polished presentation in class.
