Touro students show off their oratorical skills in the Annual Speech Competition

The winners of the contest – first place went to Tsipporah Youseflaleh (second from left)

On Thursday, May 7^th, 2015, I had the pleasure of serving as a judge for the 19^th annual Speech and Communications Department Speech Contest, held at the Midtown campus, and organized by professors George Backinoff, Gena Bardwell, and Deputy Chair Hal Wicke.  Ten students from different speech and communications classes prepared speeches, both informational and persuasive, on a variety of topics.  Sitting with me as judges were Dean Timothy Taylor and Professor Mike Walters.  We scored the speeches using a number of criteria, including organization, delivery, and content, and entries were also timed.

In Memoriam of Professor Richard Green

With the passing of Richard Green, Touro College has lost a dedicated professor.  His students have lost a compassionate teacher and friend. The library has lost a loyal supporter.
