Congratulations to the Winners of the 2023 Martin and Patrick O’Donoghue Oratorical Contest

Every spring, the Gonzaga English department hosts an annual speech contest for the entire student body. Called the Martin and Patrick O’Donoghue Oratorical Contest, the competition begins with students first presenting their speeches in their English class, and then the winner from each section advances to the finals for their class year. Finalists gave their speeches in Sheehy Theater in front of all of their classmates, as well as a panel of faculty judges, over the course of the last week and a half.
