Presentation College Will Close

By  Scott Jaschik

Presentation College, a small Roman Catholic institution in South Dakota, will close at the end of the summer 2023 term.

“After careful evaluation of the sustainability of the college’s academic programs, and a thorough review of alternatives, the Board of Trustees and Presentation Sisters reluctantly decided to close the physical campus and implement teach-out programs as the most responsible way to steward students’ pathways to completing their degrees,” Sister Mary Thomas, president of the Presentation Sisters Corporate Board, said. “We understand and share the heartbreak by our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and Aberdeen community, and we will work closely with them to succeed through this transition.”

The Presentation Sisters founded the college in 1951 to fulfill their mission of rural health care and service through nursing education. The college later expanded to include academic programs in health and natural sciences and social science and humanities. The Presentation Sisters have continuously sponsored the college and retained ownership of the campus land, with the college as a separate nonprofit.

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, the college embarked on a yearlong process of examining data and market impacts and its potential for growing enrollment to achieve sustainability. The college’s rural location, difficult for many out-of-state students to access, was already a known factor, along with a significant dependency on tuition revenue and gifts. The impact of COVID-19 exacerbated the college’s challenges, the college said in an announcement .

For students who are unable to graduate this year, the college has teach-out agreements with the University of Mary (Bismarck, N.D.) and Olivet College (Olivet, Mich.) and continues to pursue additional agreements.

Two other small private colleges, Cazenovia College in New York and Holy Names University in California, announced that they would close in December.

A Plan to Save Small Colleges

Small colleges could join forces through a supporting-organization model, Michael Alexander writes.

How to Make a Google Slides Presentation for College

Essential AI Tools and Tips for Every Student

7 hidden ios 18 changes apple barely talked about at wwdc 2024, if you're bored of waiting for spotify hifi, try these 5 hi-res audio alternatives.

Presentation assignments help you build your speaking skills. They can help you conquer your fear of public speaking, too. If you use Google Slides, it’s easy to set up a college presentation.

First, we’ll go over how to use Google Slides’ five basic features to create your presentation. After that, you’ll find three key tips to make your presentation great.

Creating a College Presentation in Google Slides

The five key features of Google Slides are the Templates, Themes, Layouts, Add-Ons, and Presenter View.

1. Choose a Template

Google Slides comes with lots of premade templates. You can use them to save time designing each slide. View Google’s included templates by clicking Template Gallery on the Slides homepage.

You can also find useful Google Slides templates around the web . Try to find a template that matches your presentation’s goal. For instance, a sales pitch template will work as an argument or business plan.

Once you find a good template, click its name at the top left to change it. Next, save it to use again in the future.

To save a copy, go to File > Make a Copy > Entire Presentation . Give the copy a generic name, like Marketing Presentation , and save it to your Drive. This gives you a clean copy to make future presentations from.

It’s a good idea to save a handful of templates this way. Look at your course outlines to see what kinds you will need.

2. Share With Teammates

If you are presenting as part of a group, go to the Share button at the top-right to get a link for your classmates. Be sure that permissions are set to Anyone with the link and Editor . This way, your team members can join with a single click.

You can also give access using an email. Click on Add people and groups , and either type in or select your groupmates’ email addresses. You can share your Slides to non-Gmail accounts , too.

3. Select a Theme

On the right-hand side, you will see several Themes available. Themes put a fresh look on an old template. Select an appropriate theme for your project. Try to find one you have not used for that class before.

Depending on the template, you might need to make some changes after changing the theme. For instance, you might have to move text that overlaps with the new border. You may also need to change the font color if it’s hard to read on the new background.

To move an element, click and drag. To change colors, select the text or graphic, then choose a new color from the context menu.

4. Choose Slide Layouts

Right-click a slide and select Apply Layout to see the options. The best ones to use are Title Only , One-column text , and Big Number . These options leave plenty of room for graphics. They help you avoid crowded slides that are hard to read.

You don’t need Main Point slides if the section is only one or two slides long. For longer sections, Main Point slides let you review the section's contents. But slides that only stay up long enough to state the title will break the flow of your presentation.

5. Use Add-Ons to Improve the Visuals

You can make good use of Google Slides Add-Ons to import special elements. They let you add flow charts, math formulas, and convert images into slides.

Take a moment to install add-ons for all the graphics design software you use. Slides should always rely more on graphics than text, so the more options you have, the better.

6. Practice in Presenter View

You can find Presenter View by clicking the dropdown arrow on the Slideshow setting. It's in the top-right corner of the screen. Presenter View allows you to see the current slide, a preview of the next one, and your notes. At the same time, it sends the slide to display elsewhere.

You can even view the notes on your phone while you present. However, in some settings, using a personal phone looks unprofessional. Talk with your professor about expectations. You may also be able to use or borrow a tablet for the presentation.

Presenter View also includes a timer at the top-left. Practicing in this mode lets you get an accurate idea of how long each slide takes. This helps you adjust the timing as you present. You can notice when you need to save time by summarizing, and when you can slow down for more detail.

Tips for a Great Presentation

Now that your slide structure is in place, it’s time to start designing the slides.

1. Use the Notes Panel

Audiences can’t listen and read at the same time. If the slides and speaking are the same, you force the audience to ignore half of your presentation. Instead, use the Notes panel at the bottom of the screen to organize what you will say.

You can click and drag on the panel’s border to give yourself more space. Use bulleted lists and bolding, so you can read at a glance.

You can't make eye contact with the audience if you are reading notes. So instead of a read-aloud script, use the notes as reminders. Use shorthand and keywords instead of full sentences.

2. Focus on the Graphics

Your speaking is the most important part of the presentation, so reduce the text by as much as possible. Instead, use graphics to help the audience understand and remember your main points.

If you’re presenting numbers, adding a chart from Google Sheets can help the audience visualize them. You can also use photos to create a visual reference. For instance, if you talk about a brand, showing the logo can help the audience remember it.

You can find lots of graphic options in the Insert menu. You can also import them from another site using an Add-On . Once you’ve added a chart, click its top-right corner to open the menu. Then select View Source to change the data in Google Sheets.

Try to choose high-resolution images that look good with your theme colors. All slides should have more graphics and blank space than text. Text size should be at least 24, to make sure people can read it from far away.

3. Practice Makes Perfect

In the end, the essential part of a presentation isn’t the slides; it’s how you present them. Therefore, practicing several times is critical. Smooth flow and speaker confidence are usually worth a lot of marks, and practice is the only way to improve them.

When you practice, act as if it's the real thing. Stand at the front of the room, and make eye contact with your practice audience. If possible, try to practice in the same room that you will present.

It can be hard to practice with no audience. If you are giving a solo presentation, offer to practice with classmates. You can give each other constructive criticism. If you can’t find any people, practice speaking to a rubber duck. Even a toy with a face is better than an empty room.

Ace Your Presentations With Google Slides

Using Google Slides, you can put an “A+” presentation together in no time. Then, you can use themes, layouts, and other features to fill them in.

It’s important to focus on your speaking skills. A good speaker should know how to engage their audience. Getting them involved with some interactive segments is a great way to do that.

75+ years of teaching excellence.

75+ Years of teaching excellence.

Our history.

The early history of Presentation College San Fernando begins in 1930, when a small school called St. Benedict’s was established in a lowly basement beneath the San Fernando Presbytery at Harris Promenade This was the first Catholic Secondary school in South Trinidad, and was set up in response to the requests of the Catholic population as well as many non-Catholic residents there. After repeated petitions to the Archbishop of Port of Spain, the latter directed the Benedictine Fathers of Mount St Benedict to start the college as a diocesan institute. On March 31 1930, the legacy began.

Under the spiritual directorship of Rev. Fr. Sebastian Weber, OSB and a teaching staff of two Mr. Vincent Ferrer and Mr. Mitchell.

St. Benedict’s opened with thirty two students on its roll, including such names as Gerard Robert Ken and Harvey Montano, Ralphie Gillezeau, the Espinet brothers, the Hart brothers (Edmund and Edwin), Steve Bennett, Elwin Maingot and Rex Latour. In November of the same year the Benedictine Fathers purchased the Colony Buildings and grounds at La Pique, nestled at the foothills of the San Fernando Hill. This six acre site was the former residence of the Governor during his visits to South Trinidad and cost some 5000 pounds to acquire.

The period saw the College football XI win the SAFA Second League for the Leiba Cup in 1934 it saw Roy Seon win a place on the SAFA forward line, the first College student to play representative football. It also saw its first Cantata and other concerts organised by Mr. Churchill Johnston, a tour to St. Vincent in 1937 and another to British Guiana in 1939, and several open air boxing tournaments. Cricket coaching sessions during this time by ex-international cricketer George John and BG Intercolonial cricketer, Chatterpaul Persad, would later realise results in the form of the invitation of several of our College players to the trials of Intercolonial cricket.

Additions to the teaching staff were J.E. Borneo, Ken Mungal, F.A. Hoyos, E. Lowe, Cecil Lai Fook, Ben Winchester, Mrs. Andre, and Rev. Fr. Boniface OSB This period saw Ramnath(Ram) as the first tull time member of the grounds Club conducted by Mr. Hoyos.

This was the regime of Fr. Boniface, which saw the construction in 1945 of what is now affectionately known as the “Old Block’, the organisation of a Sea Scouts group and construction of a Boat Club, the introduction of the Prefect system (with Jim Paul and Terrence Greteau as the first Head Prefects), the start of the Legion of Mary, and the winning of the Cow and Gate Cup, emblem of supermacy in Intercollegiate football in Trinidad.

It was at this time that Mr. Mac, with the aid of Mr. Page, Captain of the Fleet-Air-Arm Football Xl, began to introduce the third back method of play in the College team which was then skippered by Jim Paul. Leon Leacock had already become famous as the youngest player ever to play representative in Trinidad when he was selected to represent the SAFA at the age of fourteen. John Streetly had begun to reveal his penchant for mountain-climbing by numerous assaults on the San Fernando Peak via the most inaccessible routes.

Rev. Fr. Willibrord Vonk, OSB joined the staff during this time, as well as Ralph Boland, Aubrey Garcia and Victor de Castro.

It is noteworthy that because of expenses, the Brothers paid themselves no salaries for the first three years. At that time there was only third of the buildings and facilities that we see today. Students were G.C.E. ‘A’ Level examinations for the first time in 1950 and the first distinctions at this level were in 1952.Bro. Kelly, the first Principal of Presentation College, immediately got down to the task of taking charge of the school. He worked diligently at repairing and maintaining the physical plant made significant changes to the curriculum and helped to place in jobs those students who were either intellectually disadvantaged, or were just Hot interested In matters of an academic nature. He also introduced a Special Stream catered to the highly intelligent Students. This would lead to the outstanding academic successes for which the College became known.

It was also during Bro. Kelly’s administration that the House System was introduced to the College. It developed a keen sense of competition while at the same time promoting team work and loyalty to a group. With the House System at its base, a very successful intra-college league was established, both for football and cricket, and College teams improved their performances remarkably.

Principals (1948-1975)

Irish Presentation Brothers who served as Principals were:

Bro. Livinus Kelly (1948–52) Bro. Liam Dromey (1952–53) Bro. Bartholomew Browne (1953–56) Bro. Macartan Sheehy (1956–57) Bro. Jerome Kelly (1957–69) Bro. Anselm O’Callaghan (1969–71) Bro. Matthew Feheney (1971–75) Bro. Michael Samuel (1975–2002) Mr. Simon Rostant (2002-2003) Mr. Errol Jaikaransingh (2003–2013) Mr. Dexter Mitchell (2013–present)

The daily Morning Assembly which has become a feature of College life, and to which many past students refer, was introduced by Bro. Matthew Feheney. He was very interested in music himself and encouraged the formation of an ensemble as a backup for the hymns sung at Assembly.

First Local Principal (1975)

Bro Michael Samuel became the first local principal in 1975 Under his principalship the school saw a shift away from an emphasis on scholarships to a greater concern on nurturing and maintaining a close family spirit. Every student was encouraged to contribute to the corporate spirit of the College and their individual talents were recognised as far as this was possible.

An ambitious building and renovation programme was started which included the construction of the present Library and College Chapel, a second Lawn Tennis court, a squash court, a Basketball court, a further extension of the 61h Form Block, a steel Pan Shed, a spacious Music Room, the extension and air conditioning of the Staff Room and the creation of the Deans’ Offices and an Office for the Vice Principal. The Audio Visual Room boasts equipment second to none in the island and a forty Station Language Laboratory was acquired from Norway and installed. The College also boasts of a Computer Room with 16 stations (though there is always a need for upgrading of equipment). The Office of the Principal and the Secretary’s Office were expanded to provide room for the additional personnel that had become necessary with the expansion of the school population from 680 to 840 students The College has started the construction of a 25m swimming pool and a smaller 10m treading pool in what is known as the quarry area to the East of the present playing field at Carib Street. The name of the pool will be “The St. Michael’s Swimming Pool”. It is expected to be opened in 1998. Other development projects include the construction of a Cafeteria Block parallel to the Old Block, the upgrading of toilet facilities and the expansion and development of the Administrative Offices and Lobby.
