Dr. Lajuan Davis, University of Tennessee at Martin associate professor of business communications, will serve as the annual fall Phi Kappa Phi recognition ceremony keynote speaker, scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 5, via Zoom.

Davis will discuss how educators can assess their strengths to be effective teachers during her presentation titled “Teaching Professors: Know Your Superpower.” Davis has taught business communications at UT Martin for seven years and earned her Ph.D. from Mississippi State University.
<blockquote>“Being asked to serve as the featured speaker is a very humbling experience,” Davis said. “I frequently speak at conferences in front of a few of my UTM colleagues, but having the opportunity to speak to UTM professors from all facets of the university is daunting. I do promise I will provide all with some thinking points and a little light entertainment for the evening.”</blockquote>
The lecture will be open to the public for viewing and can be accessed at <a href="https://tennessee.zoom.us/j/94031114502">https://tennessee.zoom.us/j/94031114502</a> or through the Zoom Meeting ID: 940 3111 4502.
