Public speaking is more than just sharing information. It is about telling a story that truly connects with your audience. In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to craft compelling narratives using the core principles of effective storytelling, structure your message for maximum impact, and deliver it with confidence.

Whether you are presenting in class, pitching an idea, leading a student organization, or preparing for a professional opportunity, this session will give you practical tools to communicate clearly, engage your audience, and leave a lasting impression.

This workshop is in partnership with Butler Library. 

*Light refreshments will be provided! 

Registration is encouraged, but not required.
