Speed Reading Workshop
Iris Reading is holding a speed reading workshop with the help of "Graduate and Professional Student Senate" as the sponsoring organization.
The workshop is free to all students and faculty with lunch provided. The Instructor, Ross, will cover basic speed reading skills, teach to read in half the time, and retain twice as much. Students will make an improvement on the spot. Here's a link to see what a typical workshop looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmQiOEC8UnM
Because we are limited on space, and lunch will be provided, please encourage students to RSVP here:

WHERE: LAW - Room 101
