SYRCE 2016-17 Fall Semester Voices From the 70’s

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for volunteering your participation in SYRCE as a guest speaker for the Fall 2016 Lecture Series and sharing some of your experience of the 70’s with our sophomores. To be considered, please complete the questionnaire below and return to Christine Renaudin ([email protected]) by June 1 st.

1- Topic We are looking for engaging personal narratives on any aspect of the 70s as you have lived them. Please take a few moments to describe, in a short abstract (200 words maximum), the topic(s) you wish to address during your 20 minutes of speaking time. As you reflect on what, of your experience of the 70s, you would like to share with our sophomores, ask yourself what you would like them to take away from your sharing. What in your narrative is enlightening about the 70s, and how can this knowledge make a difference in students’ lives and understanding of their world?

We look forward to hearing from you, and to have the selection process completed by July 1st.

With our best regards,
