Kara Flowers, a sophomore communication studies major, won first place in the Inaugural C. Howard Dorgan Oratory Contest with her speech, titled “Renovating App from the Inside-Out,” Wednesday. “I think the point of my whole speech was that we don’t need to be so caught up in negativity and things like that,” Flowers said. “We just need to unite together.” Overall, Flowers said she was overwhelmed but excited to win. Flowers won a $250 prize. Jordan Steady, a freshman exercise science major, took second place and $100. Samuel Williams, a senior history major, took third place and $50.
