Speechwriting Boot Camp - Wednesday, September 3, 2008
Don't miss the 2008 Speechwriting Boot Camp! It will be an all day, hands-on, intensive workshop that will give you the tools to make your boss(es) look and sound great on the stump. 
A highly decorated and experienced team will lead our 2008 Boot Camp including:
Judy Woodring, Member of the Communication faculty and
Director of Forensics at Western Kentucky University
Dr. Sally Ray, Head of the Department of Communication at Western Kentucky University
Dr. Larry Cailluet, Associate Professor of Communication, specializing in rhetoric, public address, and speech writing at Western Kentucky University
Jace Lux, Communication faculty and Assistant Director of Forensics at Western Kentucky University
Rusty Cheuvront, former director of communication and speechwriter for past Kentucky Governor Paul Patton
This team will help LINCS members explore topics such as:
- How to use anecdotes, humor and personal experiences to connect with an audience;
- How to use powerful persuasion techniques to sway your audience to your side of the issue;
- How to deal with challenges such as writer's block, a boss who says he needs a speech but leaves out most of the details and
- How to 'constructively' coach people on delivery.
WKU’s debate team earned the following awards in 2007-2008:
Seventh Championship - National Forensic Association (NFA) National Tournament
Fifth championship - Individual Events
Eight-time champions - American Forensics Association (AFA)
Ninth Championship - International Forensic Association (IFA)
