D101/D201/D102/D202:
Speech/Debate
-
In today's highly globalized, interconnected world;
having good ideas is not nearly enough. You must be able to succinctly explain
and convince others (employers, peers, investors, etc) that the idea is “good.”
This art of persuasion can help students not only in current studies
(presentations, group work, and writing), but also in their future endeavors in
college, grad school, and beyond in the world force; because, persuasion is a
life-skill that can reap a life-time of dividends if prepared and tuned
early.
