Speak's mission is to promote debate, public speaking, education, and advocacy at Vermont Law School. Through this mission, Speak aims to create educational programs and trainings that will support members of the VLS community and increase participants’ confidence in oratory, critical thinking, and diplomatic dissent.
Each student in the VLS community has a unique set of experiences, passions, and abilities. In order to achieve academic excellence and professional growth for students at VLS and others in our community, Speak offers debate and self-presentation trainings to help individuals improve their public speaking abilities.
Speak is founded on the principle that VLS community members should have access to educational opportunities to strengthen their personal and professional growth. Speak seeks to promote this growth through offering debate and public speaking training to increase educational opportunities and enable individuals to confidently advocate for themselves and their passions.
