Speaking Opportunities

Speaking at student events is a great way to soft recruit on campus. If you have achieved career success and have experiences to share that may benefit current Wofford students in their search for a career path, consider volunteering to be a speaker at one of several student-oriented Career Services or Center for Professional Excellence events.

Speaking time ranges from 15-20 minutes to an hour, depending on the event. Audience will vary from students only to a mix of students and Wofford employees.

Speakers are needed for the following events:

 

Career Luncheons and Dinners	Several speakers are needed for each event. You should be willing to discuss your work in a particular field (business, economics, accounting, finance, English, law, etc.) and answer questions from students about your career path and the outlook for your profession.
Executive Speaker Series	One speaker per event. We're looking for speakers who are recognized and accomplished leaders in their fields. Discussion topics are your choice but should address professional development and leadership issues. A Q&A session will follow.
Sophomore Experience	Career leaders are needed to speak to students about the keys to professional success.

If you are interested in volunteering for a speaking engagement or have questions, please contact Erin Emory, Assistant Director, The Space, at 864-597-4265 or via email.
