Becoming a Speaker
The Speakers Bureau was created to connect South speakers who can talk knowledgably about specific topics with audiences. The overall objective is to create a results-oriented South Speakers Bureau to engage, inform and serve the campus and Gulf Coast Community. South Speakers will represent a diverse group of student leaders, alumni board, faculty, staff and administrators.
