The Arthur Lundeen Communications Lab The Lundeen Lab provides a professional “boardroom” environment for students to rehearse and develop presentation skills using digital and audiovisual tools. The lab contains an array of presentation technology, including computers, data projection, white boards, a VHS video editing system, and digital workstation with scanner, and film recorder. The room is equipped with a turn-key system to easily record presentations on video for self-review---a powerful way for students to improve “the ability to get up on your hind legs and talk in front of an audience” (in Arthur Lundeen’s original words.) In addition to hands-on training, the FMC developed a written tutorial to assist customers in using the equipment. The room is also a popular location for small forestry seminars that focus on communication and presentation skills development.

The Duffie Digital Video Lab With generous gifts from Mr. Cornelius Duffie, the FMC was able to design and equip this facility to provide students and staff access to digital non-linear video editing systems. It has proven to be an integral part of developing new media skills in forestry and natural resources students, particularly in conjunction with our FOR391 "Natural Resource Communications" course.
