On Friday May 11, 2018 the Great Hall was filled to capacity with Pierce College Communication students from all walks of life. Ten students will compete for the trophies, recognition, and scholarships. The judges will then vote for the top three speakers with the best informative or the best persuasive speech. Find out what these contestants will share, and who will be the top six winners for 2018. Special thanks to all of the finalists, judges, faculty, staff, and attendees. Brahmas keep charging!
