Help a Bradley Speech Student

Last spring, Laura Bruns, a Bradley University Speech Communication Lecturer, brought her students to OLLI class breaks so they could meet OLLI members and practice their conversational skills.

We will repeat this activity during Fall Class breaks, but are working to further develop the relationship between OLLI members and undergraduate students.

As such, we would like to offer you the chance to be paired with an honors Communication 103 student who will write a "tribute speech" about you.

Tribute speeches are short talks about a person's life, accomplishments, and advice. Once you've been matched, an honors student would meet with you at a mutually convenient time, talk about your career, hobbies, family, goals, etc., then write a speechabout what they've learned about you. You will be invited to attend class with the student and listen to his or her completed speech, but attendance is not required.

If you would like to participate in this great inter-generational activity, please fill out an online form by clicking here.

Thank you in advance for helping our Bradley students further develop their communication skills!
