Description :
UNO students from Instructor Rita Shaughnessy's Fundamentals of Public Speaking course and League of Women Voters will host a workshop for young women from Omaha High Schools. The workshop will introduce them to the political process and possibly encourage them to run for office one day by inviting locally elected women officals to share their experiences and allowing the young women to practice developing a mock political campaign.
