Join fellow Dickinsonians at the finals for the Public Speaking Competition!
Public Speaking Competition Finals
Friday, April 17
6:00-7:30 p.m.
The annual Public Speaking Contest, now sponsored by the Burgess Institute for the Global Economy, offers Dickinson students a platform to showcase their speaking skills and compete for $1,200 in prize money.
This year’s theme, "This Idea Changed the Way I See the World," invites students to reflect on a thought, theory or concept they encountered at Dickinson—from a reading, lecture, discussion or other related means—that profoundly reshaped their worldview. Speeches must have a thoughtful and serious point, but humor and lightheartedness are welcome to sharpen that point.
The final will be judged by distinguished alumni.
All are welcome! Please register by Monday, April 13.
