Â鶹AV

Two Â鶹AV graduates have reached the divisional championship of the Toastmasters International, a speech evaluation competition created in 1924 to promote public speaking and leadership skills internationally. Jean-Francois Bertrand (EMBA’14) captured first place in the discourse of assessment in French, while Michael Rodrigues (EMBA’20) won the English speech assessment. They join two others in the next round of the competition, scheduled to take place virtually on March 20. An EMBA Toastmasters Club was founded in 2017 to facilitate public speaking training for both students and graduates of the program.
