Oral Presentations
2012 Oral Presentations
In most of the careers open to graduates of DVM and BSc Programs, the ability to communicate clearly and present information succinctly will be a valuable skill.
As a student in a graduate program, you will be called upon to defend your thesis; in lab meetings you will need to update members of your team. In academia, presentation skills are critical for lecture situations and public talks, but also for Problem Based Learning (PBL) and small group exercises. As veterinarians, you will be called upon to articulate scientific and veterinary concepts to clients with varying backgrounds. In industry or research, rarely does one work in isolation, but more often in teams. Effective communication skills are infinitely important no matter what career path you choose.
May 22 and 23
Presentations on May 22 begin at 9:00 AM, and on May 23 they will begin at 1:30 PM. Sessions will be held in room 1713 of the Lifetime Learning Centre (Coffee & Tea provided).
The entire OVC Community is welcome and encouraged to attend. A complete schedule of presenters will be available to download closer to the date.
The SLRP Oral Presentations are a great way to kick start your academic leadership, sharpen your presentation skills and learn PowerPoint along the way.

Presentation Guidelines
The primary purpose of these oral presentations is for group participants to communicate their summer projects to one another in a professional yet informal atmosphere. As such, it is not necessary to provide all of the details relative to the project methods.
Ideally, the reason or rationale for the project should be presented, followed by the specific scientific objectives or hypotheses (if applicable), and enough description of the methods proposed that the audience are able to understand what is being done. Students should share what their role will be. Please be sure to consult with your faculty advisor(s) when putting together your presentation.
Each presentation should be limited to 4 minutes maximum, with a maximum of 3-4 PowerPoint slides. Students working on linked projects under the same advisor may give a joint presentation as long as each student presents for five minutes or so. You will be timed.
There will be a 2-minute question period for each presentation.
Because of the fast pace of presentations, students are required to load their PowerPoint presentation onto the OVC network the day before in order to enable smooth transitions from one talk to the next. See the instructions for doing so below.
Loading Your Presentation
Your presentation must be loaded onto the OVC network in one of our shared folders by 6:00 pm the day before your scheduled date. If you’re not sure which network drive you are able to access, check with your faculty advisor or another student in your group. If you cannot access the V drive please email the presentation to Elizabeth at lowenger@uoguelph.ca.
