Using The Lab
Who We Are
Students can come to Speakers Lab to get help with speeches and
presentations, both individual and group. Speakers Lab can help
your students refine their topic, organize their research, and
effectively present their speech. After that, Speakers Lab can even
review the finished presentation with your students to help them do
even better next time.
Speakers Lab can help your students with their
presentations from beginning to end!
Location and Hours
Butler University Speakers Lab has two locations to serve your
students' needs: Fairbanks 140 and Fairbanks 250.
Speakers Lab encourages you to work closely with the peer tutor
of your choice--to develop a mutually beneficial relationship.
Please note: scheduling conflicts may arise, so another tutor may
substitute.
Also, please be aware that Speakers Lab closes for holidays and
breaks in the academic year. Plan ahead and check
Speakers Lab Dates of Service (PDF) or contact Speakers Lab if
you have any questions. Speakers Lab will attempt to accommodate
your needs, but it is always best to plan ahead.

Speakers Lab has centralized operations in the Richard M.
Fairbanks center for communication and Technology. Lab's two
facilities, FB140 and FB250, are available to meet your needs.
Scheduling Appointments
Speakers Lab utilizes an online scheduler. This system operates
independently of the Butler network.
User Creation
Users will be created by merging course rosters into the system.
Users will receive a welcome e-mail informing students of the link,
username, and password. Speakers Lab asks that you submit course
rosters containing at least names and e-mail addresses
electronically to Nick Perry (nperry@butler.edu) if you
intend to use Lab.
Scheduler Access
Students will be able to access the scheduler through the
student portion of the Butler University Speakers Lab website.
In the Event of Difficulties
Speakers Lab tutors are trained to assist students having
difficulties by phone during normal operating hours. If necessary,
tutors can schedule appointments for students.
Other reminders for your students:
- Groups may only schedule on the hour for the whole hour.
- Speakers Lab does not accept appointments by
e-mail.
- Speakers Lab cannot return calls to long-distance numbers.
