Third annual “Speak-Up” competition is Friday in Woodbridge

Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) Woodbridge Campus will welcome the William County community to its third annual Speak-Up Competition on Friday, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 p.m. in the Lakeside Theater, located on the first floor of the WS building

This event will showcase the oratory talents of NOVA students in categories such as poetry, persuasive speaking, informative speaking, and rap.

The Speak-Up competition offers students from all disciplines an opportunity to showcase their communicative skills and abilities gained from Communication Studies and English courses taken at NOVA. 

Furthermore, the competition offers students an opportunity to share their talents in a friendly, supportive environment. Prizes will be awarded to all participants of this event. 

“Our mission is to provide students with a forum to express their ideas, feelings, and concerns, all while gaining practical experience in the public speaking field,” said Jenny Lopez-Ramirez, an event coordinator.

The event is free, and members of the community are welcome to join us as we recognize the unique talents of the diverse student population at NOVA. 

If you would like to learn more about this event, please contact committee members, Jenny Lopez-Ramirez at [email protected] or Tamara Warren Chinyani at [email protected].
