5 Ways to Benefit From Breezeway Dialogues

1. Save the dates: Track our upcoming dialogues and topics on the FAU Event Calendar.
2. Attend as often as you can: All events are free and do not require registration unless otherwise specified. For planning purposes, we do ask that you select the blue “I’m Interested” calendar button on the events you plan to attend.
3. Research the event topic(s) ahead of time: It’s crucial that you use credible, fact-based sources so you are prepared for thoughtful conversations and profound inquiry.
4. Pay attention throughout the discussion: In particular, listen carefully to:
   • how speakers identify main ideas
   • when and how supporting evidence is used
   • how speakers talk about similarities or differences in others’ perspectives
   • the way speakers draw the audience’s attention to specific points
   • the way speakers interact with one another, maintaining respect for each other and each other’s ideas
   • the way speakers articulate their ideas critically, with eloquence and intelligence
5. Look for opportunities to participate: You can help make the BREEZEWAY DIALOGUES series a success by attending and participating in the dialogues – whether as an audience member or a panelist. These public-speaking opportunities will reinforce your communication skills, which are essential for success in the workforce and any leadership role.
