Over 120 people showed up from all five of Georgia Highlands College’s locations on April 14th for the seventh annual GHC Public Speaking Competition in Cartersville.
The event invites GHC students to prepare and deliver a persuasive speech to an audience of fellow students, faculty, family and friends. Many students learn basic public address theory and practice in GHC’s Human Communication courses or Public Speaking courses. It is an opportunity for students to demonstrate speech preparation, verbal style, physical delivery and to build experience in front of unfamiliar audiences.
The event has three rounds and student competitors give the same speech for different sets of judges to progress to the final round.
