The Speech Meet is an event sponsored by the Department of Communication, twice annually, to showcase excellent former students from the COM 2211 (Effective Public Speaking) course, and to provide those individuals an opportunity to build their experience and resume, and potentially earn college credit as a prize. Communication professors typically nominate students they feel qualify for the competition, however interested parties may contact the Communication office for more information. The Communication office is located in Building 2, Room 222, or by telephone at 937-512-2271.
