Eloquentia Perfecta: Celebrating Rhetoric at USF
Eloquentia Perfecta: Celebrating Rhetoric at USF is an event series hosted by the Department of Rhetoric and Language, showcasing outstanding written, oral, visual, and digital rhetoric. We also listen to and learn from our multilingual students, promote innovative and multimodal approaches to rhetoric, and celebrate eloquentia perfecta—communicating for the common good.
Our Fall 2023 - Spring 2024 events are open to the entire USF community and do not require registration.
The St. Ignatius Dialogues are Jesuit values driven speaking competitions hosted annually by Loyola Marymount and the University of San Francisco. The unique tournament formats are intended to be non-dichotomous, collaborative, and involve several forms of competitive speaking. Furthermore, the Dialogues involve unique forms of adjudication, expert judges, study tours, service learning events, keynote addresses, and socials.
