  • "Through the activities we do like elevator pitches and speaking competitions, I've been able to grow tremendously as an orator and really improve my communication skills."

    Akul Mittal, Junior

  • "Throughout my involvement in Public Speaking Club over 2 years so far, I have learned the basics of public speaking through in-meeting exercises, visiting lecturers, and watching films. Quite a bit more tight-knit than some other clubs, I think this trait lends it some personality not necessarily found in other areas of campus; while most fear public speaking, SPEAR Club has made it a deal more accessible to the average St. Mark's student, myself included. It's always good to have a low/no-cost option to practice communication."

  • SPEAR isn't just a club; it's a supportive community that fosters growth and camaraderie and I am genuinely thankful for the skills I've gained and the friendships I've formed. Joining SPEAR has been an empowering journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to hone their public speaking skills in a vibrant and encouraging setting.
