Campus Exploration PowerPoint Assignment

Overview

Liberty University offers students a wealth of services designed to help succeed throughout their online academic careers and beyond.  To ensure students recognize these offerings and opportunities, students will complete a Campus Exploration Powerpoint Assignment.

This will include visiting 9 different campus service/office physical locations or various office webpages from Liberty University Online’s website. Students will then create a 10 slide PowerPoint presentation (title slide + 9 offices) showcasing these services/offices. Please do not use any other software (do not use Keynote, Slides, Prezi, Pages, etc.).

Note: It may be wise for students to review eBook Reading- Chapter: Introduction: Getting Involved, which contains a long list of student support offices for residential and/or online students. Students can access the full textbook inside MindTap (follow any chapter link to enter MindTap) or can use the direct link to Introduction: Getting Started in Module 1: Week 1’s Learn section.
