About Us
Our goal at NU Public Speaking Club is to empower its members to become effective communicators and leaders. We do this by fostering a supportive and positive community, where each member can grow confidence in public speaking while developing leadership skills. Since 2014, our club (formerly Northwestern Toastmasters Club) enabled numerous students to overcome their fear of public speaking and become excellent speakers, all the while forming strong friendships.
Everyone is welcome to attend our weekly meeting. We hope you will be part of NUPS community!
