The Department of Communication at Wright State University hosted the Rotary 4-Way Speech Contest in the Millett Hall Atrium on Sunday, March 22, for the second time.

Rotary is a 1.2 million member international service organization where professionals with diverse backgrounds exchange ideas and form lifelong friendships, according to rotary.org. Each of the 52 rotary clubs of district 6670, which represents southwest Ohio, held their own public speaking contests and the 29 best high school speakers were selected to visit WSU to perform.
