The Hinckley Institute Radio Hour (Air dates: May 3 ~ 6, 2017) — The Hinckley Institute recently held it’s 3rd annual HIP Talks, the 2-minute speech competition on the campus of the University of Utah.  Students gave two-minute speeches in front of a qualified panel of judges in one of three qualifying rounds, with a finale of the top speakers held on April 20th.  The competition awarded significant cash prizes for the best speakers.
