It’s Called Rhetoric

A Public Speaking Workshop

Thursday, Sept 26th, 6:30 PM | Free

To get our vote, today’s politicians give speeches almost every day. How can we judge the truth of what they say? The principles of rhetoric, the art of persuasion, give us the tools to analyze these speeches, to find the truth. This workshop is designed to make you a more critical listener and a more effective speaker. Open to all experience levels and teens (13+) are welcome alongside adults.

Jerry McGovern was an instructor in the SUNY Plattsburgh Communications Department for more than 30 years. He taught Public Speaking, Argumentation/Critical Thinking, and Small Group Communication.
