For this assignment, you will be preparing a PowerPoint presentation under the assumption that you were preparing to hold a community forum in a local town which was contiguous to a prominent, state university. In this community presentation, you were to make the academic argument for describing the degree to which mission impacts an institution.

Support your content with at least three (3) citations throughout your presentation. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the presentation. Include a reference slide at the end. Follow best practices for PowerPoint and Prezi presentations related to test size, color, images, effects, wordiness, and multimedia enhancements.
