Hello Dr. Tovares,

I learned yesterday that Harvard University and Howard University’s Speech and Debate team will battle on Friday. The event takes place at Howard, 3pm. Can you send this event to your network of students interested in debate? I plan to attend as well. Please find details below:

WASHINGTON (February 11, 2013) – The Howard University Debate Team will take on rivals from Harvard University on Friday, Feb. 22 at 3 p.m. in Cramton Auditorium. The match up marks the first time a Harvard team has traveled to the Howard campus for a debate. The event is free and open to public.

“Howard is excited to host this historic event on its campus,” Director of Howard University’s MLK Jr. Forensics Program, Angela D. Minor, Esq. said. “Audience members can expect to see an entertaining and educational event.”

Sponsors of the debate include Starbucks and the national chapter of the NAACP. The two teams will debate whether gun manufacturers should be held liable for mass killings and if women should be required to sign up for the Selective Service System.

Trinity’s Communication Club is sponsoring an undergraduate public speaking contest. The contest will take place in the Rose Parlor, April 17 at 5:00 p.m. The theme of the contest is “Words of Hope; Acts of Courage.”

Throughout history individuals have articulated the hopes and dreams of their generation. Many have also acted in courageous ways to bring about change so that hopes could be realized and dreams turned into reality. By selecting the theme “Words of Hope; Acts of Courage” Communication Club members want to encourage their fellow CAS students to present speeches that will inform listeners about the different ways that words, either spoken or written, and actions, either dramatic or modest, can and do lead to a better world.
