An informal panel discussion co-sponsored by Jody Swilky, coordinator of writing instruction, and Joan McAlister, coordinator of public speaking instruction, is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 30, from 1–2 p.m. in the Speaking Center, located in the lower level of Cowles Library. Three Drake scholars with considerable experience presenting their scholarship to a range of audiences will discuss what influences them when they present written work publicly. Each of these speakers have developed skills and abilities for public performance that have benefitted their teaching and professional lives, and each is willing to share their experiences with others. For more information, contact Joan McAlister at joan.mcalister@drake.edu.
