A Masterclass in Persuasion with Speech Consultant Jay Heinrichs '77

Come watch the NYTimes bestselling author of Thank You For Arguing do for Midd students what he does for corporations, college fundraisers, and TED Talk speakers across the nation: use the principles of classical rhetoric to pinpoint their message for its target audience. We’ve invited students to pitch an idea of their own, or to advocate for a student org or activity in which they believe. So we’ll hear a variety of two-minute proposals, recruitment pitches, mission statements, SGA resolutions, etc., then watch as Jay helps hone the message for maximum impact. We invite you to participate, too. Why not give it a try? Whatever your pitch, Jay loves nothing more than helping people learn to advocate. For information: mllevin@middlebury.edu.
