Do you have just a minute to help others out in the Spartanburg Community and support USC Upstate’s “60 Seconds of Service” on Thursday, Feb. 7, 2012, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Jazzman’s Quad. At the “60 Seconds of Service” event, you will have the opportunity to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for those who are living in poverty and financially unable to feed themselves. We will be donating all the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the Second Presbyterian Soup Kitchen in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The Soup Kitchen feeds those who are hungry and works to alleviate the root causes of hunger in Spartanburg. We will also be teaching those who are making the sandwiches about the Second Presbyterian Soup Kitchen and how they can do more to serve the Spartanburg community.

Presentation Description: Fisher (1984) argues humans are by nature storytelling beings. Despite this natural inclination toward stories, when it comes to providing evidence for an argument, narratives are often viewed with suspicion. This presentation will discuss the inherent power found in narrative evidence, while also cautioning speakers regarding the use of narratives as support material. Presentation by Leah White, Ph.D.
