Student-Athletes Speak Out
April 01, 2015 11:22 AM | General
On Thursday, April 2, 2015, five West Virginia University student-athletes are speaking their minds.
It’s part of Dr. Carolyn Atkins’ SPA 270, Effective Public Speaking course through West Virginia University’s College of Education and Human Services and this year’s presentation will take place at 11 a.m. in Room 172 at the WVU Coliseum and will be streamed live through WVUsports.com.
In addition to helping Mountaineer student-athletes become more effective public speakers, The Student Athletes Speak Out program aims to promote character education in West Virginia middle schools through a variety of topics including: academics, alcohol and drug awareness, bullying, courage and responsibility and other issues.

The general public is invited to attend, although seating is limited.
