The 4th Annual Otis Young Motivational Speak-off
Date: Saturday, May 3, 2003
9 a.m. - noon
MCC Theater, Building 4, Brighton Campus
This annual event provides students with the opportunity to develop their public speaking skills in a way that far exceeds what can be accomplished in a classroom setting. To prepare for this event, students participate in an honors course where they develop, revise and rehearse an original 5-7 minute motivational speech. The contest allows students to test their preparation and developed skills in front of an audience in a theater setting.
A number of judges are called upon to evalute this event. This group represents college faculty, staff and administrators; students; community representatives; outside College/University representatives; and members of the communication and leadership organization, Toastmaster International. In addition to scoring participants in a number of categories outlined below, each judge is also asked to provide specific feedback to students outlining areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
The poster and program for this event was designed by Visual and Performing Arts students as part of Com 160 Computer Graphics: Design and Layout class.
