Ever since The Gavel Club was established in University of Ruhuna by Charter Board Madam President Gv. Menaka Ruwanpathirana in 2014, it has been a leading force of voice that sharpened thousands of undergraduates, giving them the best opportunity to enhance themselves in the field of ‘Public Speaking’!
“What’s with Public Speaking?” is a fair question to be raised by anyone who is truly interested in Gavel. Public Speaking is the most powerful weapon that can deliver ideas and concepts, manipulate thousands or even millions of people simple through the way one speaks.
Well, it might sound easy to say, but the truth is that a public speaker is indeed, a sculpture of energy, pride, confidence and manipulation; a master of verbal and non- verbal communication through various techniques such as vocal variations, vocabulary, well controlled facial and body gestures, eye contact, stage usage and much more.
It is with humble pride that Ruhuna Gavel in 2025 (Present) has fulfilled its duty in a remarkable and substantial manner.
Recently, Ruhuna Gavel has further extended its glory by expanding the club to the inter- university level, with the University of Sri Jayawardenepura in October 15,2024 at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna. This milestone stands as a testament to the power of collaboration.
10 years of Gavel Legacy was proudly celebrated, on November 23, 2024 at Matara beach, with Gavel At Sea 2.0 (GAS),calling all Gaveliers back home!
Ruhuna Gavel has secured a number of medals and awards in contests, for instance Gv. Dineth Keragala (Gold Medalist of Speak Out Competition) and fellow Gaveliers who have secured all three places in the very same competition.
‘Gavel stands for Public Speaking’! but why not fun! The celebration of Christmas has been a day worth waiting to come for Gaveliers, indeed, as Gavel knows what fun is! The last celebration of Christmas at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ruhuna, has proven that with enough evidence!
It is obvious that all the Presidents, committees, and the strength of the club, which is its enthusiastic Gaveliers, should be commemorated for their dedication and commitment to the club, considering Gavel to be more than just a club, but a place where everyone gathers to celebrate the ultimate victory. This has proven the most chanted phrase of a Gavelier: ‘Gavel Never Stops!’
