Communication Week 2011
Communication Week 2011, sponsored by Lambda Pi Eta and the Advertising & Public Relations Organization, continues through Feb. 25. Students, faculty and staff are invited to join in events that will showcase various aspects of the field of communication.
Schedule of events:
“The Forensics of Communication: An Interactive Showcase”
Speech & Debate Showcase
7 p.m.
Feb. 22
Magruder Hall 1000
As a part of Communication Week, the Truman speech and debate team will showcase its award-winning speeches and performance. The team will begin by hosting a debate on gas price regulation, in which the audience will be able to ask questions directly to the debaters. Spectators will also judge the debate to determine the winner of the contest. Following the debate, the speech side of the program will perform a duo interpretation of Bryan Fuller’s Pushing Daisies. The piece is a 10-minute version of the hit television show about a pie-maker who has the ability to touch dead people and bring them back to life. The squad will end the performance with an impromptu speaking session—the speaker will have only one minute to prepare a six-minute speech on audience suggested topics.
