It’s the 10th anniversary of Northern Essex Community College’s Speechapalooza 2025, an event celebrating free speech.
The college’s Principles of Public Relations class puts on Speechapalooza and gives participating students an opportunity to present speeches on whatever topics they want.
“The beauty of this event is that it allows students to express themselves and their interests freely. We are fostering community, connection and conversation,” says Professor Mary Jo Shafer, who currently teaches the Principles of Public Relations class. “This is a great event because it allows us to celebrate student voices. It can be thought-provoking and inspiring to hear students’ perspectives. Speechapalooza is also a wonderful hands-on learning opportunity for the public relations students, who get to organize, promote and host the event,”
Speechapalooza takes place on Thursday, April 24, from 12:30-2:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall A in the Spurk Building on the Haverhill campus, 100 Elliott St.
Free pizza will be provided to all participants and attendees. There will also be prizes for stand-out participants. Those seeking more information may email the Public Relations class at [email protected] or Shafer at [email protected].
