As part of the Office of Graduate Studies' Lunch & Learn Series we invite VIU's Graduate Student Scholars to give a talk on an aspect of their research or internship to help develop what we call 'power skills' - nothing soft about them.
Pancommunications.com sums up why public speaking is important:
- To win over the crowd
- To motivate people
- To inform
And we agree. Only we would add one more: To grow community.
