I was looking for a speech or event to cover in Towson or one of the surrounding towns, when I realized that it would make more sense for me to look on campus. In the Daily Digest I found out that Towson is having their own version of "The Last Lecture" by Dr. Randy Pausch. In my Comm 131 class last semester we watched some of "The Last Lecture" and it interested and intrigued me. On September 23 Dr. Ed Chute, former professor at California University of Pennsylvania will speak here at Towson. He is known for being active in the Civil Rights Movement, and also being a humorous and inspirational speaker.
Dr. Chute will clearly be my main source, but I will also do some research on his background and just to learn more about him before listening and taking notes on his speech. As of right now I don't know much about Dr. Chute, but he sounds like an interesting man full of wisdom and life experience. Questions that could be asked may be about his experience in marching in the Civil Rights Movement.

Good topic to cover. Keep in mind that your speaker won't be your only source. Allow extra time afterwards to talk to the event organizers and audience members to get their reactions.
