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 ā€œI’m Interestedā€ 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.
