BOISE STATE STUDENTS PRESENT SPEECH SHOWCASE
APRIL 29
Boise State University communication students will present
their semi-annual Speech Showcase at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 29, in the Student
Union Jordan Ballroom. The event is free and open to the public.
Each of eight finalists from preliminary rounds of
judging, representative of about 1,000 students taking Communication 101, will
present an eight-minute speech to compete for more than $500 in prize money, as
decided by a panel of distinguished judges. Rob Perez, a senior vice-president
for U.S. Bank and major underwriter for the event, will present the awards.
Communication professor and forensics team coach Marty Most will emcee the
program.
During the judges' deliberations, instructors� names
will be placed in a hat and five names will be drawn to give impromptu speeches.
A separate panel of instructors will judge this impromptu round and the winner
will receive a $25 award.
The department�s goals in sponsoring this event are
two-fold: to provide models of and motivate speakers toward speech excellence,
and to celebrate successful communication in the public sphere.
