International Experiences Speech Contest
(Special Event)
The Virginia Tech community is invited to attend the Phi Beta Delta international honor society's annual 'International Experiences' speech contest on Monday, November 15, at 7 p.m. in Pamplin 1045. Virginia Tech students, staff, faculty, and alumni will present five-minute speeches based on the topic "Challenges and Successes: International experiences that have changed your outlook on life." Judges include William Lewis, Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion; Rachel Holloway, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Affairs in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, and Don Back, Director of the Language and Culture Institute.
The event is held in commemoration of International Education Week, which serves as an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education seeks to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States.
