This highly anticipated event is back! MESPA members come together to deliver captivating, impactful talks to their peers. Presentations can range from 5, 7, or 10 minutes, allowing for concise and powerful messages. But wait, there's more! If you're selected to be part of MESPA Speaks, get ready to embark on an incredible journey. It's a commitment that requires dedication, hard work, and a burning desire to create a presentation that is not only high-quality, but also engaging. Presenters are expected to deliver their talks entirely from memory and stay within the given time frame. Don't worry, though – MESPA staff will be there every step of the way, providing feedback and potentially connecting you with a colleague who can lend support. Ultimately, the success of your presentation rests in your hands. The result? The thrilling opportunity to share your passion with an attentive audience of your peers! Make sure you're fully committed to the process before applying – it's an adventure worth taking! |
Another year, another amazing lineup of MESPA Speaks performances! This year we were inspired and moved by our members' performances. Brian Franklin presented on the aspect of serving students with compassion, Shawn Stibbins doesn't want you to forget your superpower, Sam Richardson discusses turning reflection inward, and Fatima Lawson wants you to know there's two sides to every story.
MESPA Speaks 2019 Another year, another amazing trio of MESPA Speaks performances!
