Speaking and presentation skills are part of many courses at Hamilton, especially through seminar classes and the senior project. Even in courses that do not require formal presentations, small class size and the Hamilton emphasis on student-faculty interaction mean that clear, authoritative speaking is a highly valued part of the learning process.
The Oral Communication Program covers a spectrum of skills: oral presentation, debate, negotiation, teaching and intercultural communication. Building on resources as old as classical rhetoric and as new as multimedia technology, oral communication courses combine traditional principles and innovative approaches to fit the needs of each student.
Effective speaking is always part of a conversation; listening is a crucial part of that conversation, too. The Oral Communication Program focuses not only on the mechanics of speaking well, but on active listening, feedback and understanding. Those skills play a key role as Hamilton students and graduates emerge as leaders.
