ACCENT Speaker’s Bureau would like to thank everyone who made this past year a success. With an extremely hardworking and creative staff ACCENT once again was able to bring world class acts to the University of Florida. This past school year, ACCENT was privileged to host intriguing forums with retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor, NBA star Shaquille O'Neal, former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani, six-time Grammy Award winner Billy Joel, a head writer of SNL Seth Meyers, and UF alumna and ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews.

Stay tuned for upcoming shows! In the meantime follow ACCENT on Twitter @ACCENTSPEAKERS to find out the latest updates on the planning for the fall. Also make sure to “like” and become a fan of the ACCENT Speakers Bureau page on Facebook.
