“If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” With this belief at its core, IBA-JU Debating Club is back with one of its most awaited intra events, the fifth edition of its signature skill-building competition, “Speak to Lead 5.0”, an intra IBA-JU public speaking and extempore speech competition.
A tradition that began with the 29th batch of IBA-JU, Speak to Lead has evolved into a hallmark event that empowers freshmen to find their voice, sharpen their oratory skills, and lead through the power of speech. This year, the 33rd batch gets the opportunity to take the stage and prove that leaders are made through words that inspire, influence, and ignite change.
