The UA Little Rock Downtown Lecture Series continues on Wednesday, Feb. 6, with a talk on “The Art of Positive Communication: How Small Behaviors Create Your Best Moments” by Julien C. Mirivel, dean of UA Little Rock’s College of Social Sciences and Communication.

The lecture begins at 6 p.m. at UA Little Rock Downtown, 333 President Clinton Ave.

Miravel’s talk will offer an introduction to the art of positive communication, built on the premise that “the spoken word, spoken honorably and well, can make a difference that no other form of communication can equal.”

In the talk, Mirivel will share a simple model to inspire audience members to communicate more positively. With personal examples and stories, he will show how concrete behaviors can have a positive effect at work, at home, and in the community. By the end of the talk, audience members will be able to create their best moments and to connect with others more deeply.

The UA Little Rock Downtown Lecture Series features UA Little Rock faculty discussing issues in science, health, community, the arts, and other topics every Wednesday from 6-7 p.m.
