The Series serves a dual purpose: it promotes a culture of competition and personal growth for the students of SMU, and provides a medium that enables corporations to identify prospective talent in a natural business setting.

Club members of SMU Toastmasters will be invited to deliver speeches to corporate leaders in industry for a chance to win scholarships of $5000 (for best speaker) and $2500  (for most improved speaker) thus providing a powerful incentive to polish one’s public speaking skill set.

 

The Toastmasters Speaker Series helps students

• Give better sales presentations
• Improve public speaking skills
• Learn how to plan, organize, and run meetings
• Effectively develop and present ideas
• Offer constructive criticism
• Accept criticism more objectively
