Investigate a Campus Resource

Your goal is to “sell” the resource to your classmates by persuading them of the value of using the resource while attending college.

  1. Research your resource online, visit your resource in person (unless you are a fully online student), and talk to other faculty and students about your resource to gather information.
  2. Create a presentation, such as a PowerPoint, video, or digital collage. Let your classmates know tips for accessing and using the resources and the advantages of using the resource while attending college.
  3. Present your resource to the class.
