81st Annual Andrina McCulloch Public Speaking Competition

Andrew McCulloch (B.A. 1871, M.A. 1874) died at Thorold, Ontario in 1929. In his will, he bequeathed to Queen’s University a number of valuable securities. He directed that the income from these securities should be used, in perpetuity, to fund three awards, each to honour one of his three daughters. The Andrina McCulloch Award was first given in 1941 and is still presented annually for the promotion and encouragement of public speaking at Queen’s. 

The DAN School of Drama and Music, in association with the Provost Advisory Committee for the Performing Arts (PACPA), the Smith School of Business, and the Faculty of Law present the 81st Andrina McCulloch Public Speaking Competition. The first round begins at 2:00pm with the final round starting at 7:00pm. Competitors have the opportunity to win cash prizes for their original speeches.
