The Department of Communication Studies is hosting a second Ignite Kutztown on Wednesday, Mar. 1 at 7 p.m. in Rickenbach Room 135.

Ignite is a public speaking event where participants make a five-minute speech on any topic, using a presentation that advances automatically.

Dr. Emily Cripe, Department Chair of Communication Studies, is working to organize the event. 

ā€œWhen I lived in Phoenix, I attended a few Ignite events, and they’re really fun,ā€ Cripe said. ā€œIt’s always interesting to hear people talk about things they’re passionate about, and it’s a great community-building opportunity.ā€

An Ignite event was held last semester on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022. Some presentations from this event included ā€œPlaying Dungeons and Dragons Makes Me a Better Teacherā€ by Dr. Amy Lynch-Biniek, ā€œWhy I Still Play with Toysā€ by Dr. Steve Lem and ā€œThe Power of Picture Booksā€ by Dr. Julie Hovanec.
