Get Involved--Yet More Extra Credit Opportunities

There are quite a few campus events coming up I'd like to encourage you to attend. 

1.  Poet, musician, and inspirational speaker Talon Duchenaux will be appearing in the Wolves' Den on Wednesday, November 18, at 7:30 p.m.  I've watched Talon's "Ted Talks" presentation.  Useful ideas, and quite entertaining. 

2.  Author Suki Kim will be speaking at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, at the Aberdeen Civic Theater.   While I won't be talking about North Korea specifically in class, the material you pick up from her talk will help you in preparing for exam questions 3, 4, and 5. 

3.  NSU professor Anne Holmquest will discuss the book she recently published, “Visual Talk: How to Speak Anywhere with Graphics and Rhythm” at the Noon Forum on Wednesday, November 18, in the Williams Library Rotunda.  Those of you who are going to be teachers, glorious professors, or enter any profession that require public presentations will find this a very useful session.

To get your extra credit points, just note here which presentation you want to and comment on what the presentation added to your college experience that you might not have gotten from your regular classes.
