oa 8 Society

Do you cower at the thought of taking a seminar course? Have difficulty expressing yourself in public? Go blank at job interviews? Want help? |

The UPEI Debating Society can help you out in several ways. You can learn how to speak in public with composure and confidence. You can learn how to develop convincing arguments on the spot. You can learn how to think clearly and express yourself under pressure. You can learn how to think critically and logically. You can build self-confidence. All this and more you can have with a little time and effort. We don’t do miracles, but our members report extremely positive benefits from practice in debating (and a few near-miracles). On top of all this, debating is a lot of fun, you get to meet new people, and you have an

opportunity for travel. You need never have spoken in public

before in your life to give us a try - we all have to start somewhere. aS

The ability to speak well in public is a definite asset in many courses and programs at university. It is also a valuable skill to many potential employers. So why not take a couple of hours or SO a week to improve yourself in a very important area, and gain a skill that is an asset to any educated person. Don’t sell yourself short - you can do it! All it takes is the determination to learn to conquer your fear of speaking before an audience. The UPEI Debating Society holds practice sessions on Tuesdays at 4:00pm. Everyone is more than welcome to attend. We meet in room 411 of Main Building. For more info, call Michael Woodman at 892- 8642 or Edward Lank at 964-2395.
