In a small cross sectional study, Ferreira-Marinho et al. (2017, p. 127 e7) reported that “63.9% of the college students reported fear of public speaking. As many as 89.3% of the students would like their undergraduate program to include classes to improve public speaking.”
Last year the School of Medicine Student Senate and the Capozzi M.D. Library collaborated to help our students and faculty reduce this fear.
Due to the high interest and attendence, we are doing so again.
We welcome our presenter, Julio A. Rodríguez-Rentas, M.A., who is the Senior Director of Strategic Communications at New York Medical College. He is also a Professor and Co-chair of the Department of Communications, Journalism, and Media Arts, at SUNY WCC. With his wealth of experience, Mr. Rodriguez-Rentas emphasizes preparation and rehearsal as valuable tools in managing anxiety. He focuses “on subject understanding, content organization, adaptability, and cultural sensitivity for confident and compelling narratives.”
So please, empower yourself and join us:
