About this Event
UVA's Politics Department and partners across Grounds invite you to attend the 2nd annual Student Oratory Competition taking place on Thursday, Nov. 3 at 5:00 PM in the historic Dome Room of UVA's Rotunda. During the competition, ten student finalists will deliver persuasive five-minute speeches on the topic “Is free speech important at a public university in our American democracy — and why?” A panel of former U.S. presidential speechwriters will judge the finalists on speechwriting ability and quality of delivery, and will announce a winner at the end of the event.
Attendance is free and open to the public. This event is sponsored by UVA's Department of Politics, the Karsh Institute of Democracy, Think Again @ UVA, the Jefferson Literary & Debating Society, College Republicans and University Democrats.
