Adam Bivens, left, and Connor Harootunian, both Penn State Brandywine students, along with Angela Putman, assistant professor of communications arts and sciences, presented at the 2016 Impact Conference about how to create a public speaking college course around social justice.
With Angela Putman’s guidance, the students planned and presented “Utilizing a Social Justice Perspective and Framework in a College-level Public Speaking Course.” This was an interactive, round-table style workshop that shared a successful model for teaching a beginning-level public speaking class that used a social justice framework and perspective.
Penn State Brandywine presents “Earth Day 2016: Trees (not Trash) for the Earth” as part of the 2016 Spring Speaker Series at 11:30 a.m. April 12, in the Main Building, room 113. The lecture will discuss the pros and cons of cutting down old growth trees verses planting new growth trees and how both impact carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
