Barton County Community College
Guide to Available Programs and Speakers

Barton County Community College is fortunate to possess expertise and talent among its employees and students. And in sharing these resources, the College and community can come together.

Professionally Speaking will help you select suitable presentations for your group. You will find presentations of serious issues and others that are purely for entertainment. Some are illustrated lectures while others are complete audio/visual presentations.

To make planning easier for everyone involved, we invite you to call the speaker of your choice. Dealing directly with the speakers will ensure that arrangements are understood and satisfactory to all parties.

The Office of College Communications, 620-792-9309, will be glad to assist you in finding speakers or to provide you with biographical information for publicity and/or introductions.

If you are interested in a particular subject but don't see it listed, let us know, and we will try to identify someone on our staff who is knowledgeable in that area.
