The Public Speaking Club is pleased to welcome Sarah Nagy, Assistant Director for Student Involvement and Orientation, who will be talking to the group about ways to “perk up” a presentation. She will be sharing valuable information from the speaker’s perspective and will provide time for the students to practice the skills they will learn during the session. Ms. Nagy’s experience as instructor and a speaker will be a great contribution to the public speaking series.
The Public Speaking Club’s purpose is to jointly work with our presenters to improve our speaking skills and to improve self-confidence when presenting in front of a group of people. Join us Monday, November 23, 7:00pm at the International Center, Conference Room 107A. Don’t miss this very informative session.
Discussion for this week will be “Holidays in the US” which is in line with the Thanksgiving holidays. The session will particularly focus on helping international students understand the meaning of the Thanksgiving holiday, how it was originally celebrated, and there will be some simple take-home recipes that participants might want to prepare. Participants will also have an opportunity to share information about holiday celebrations in their home countries. We hope to see you Monday, November 23, at 7:00pm.
The club will meet as usual from 1:00–3:00pm. Join us to practice the English language with native speakers.
