Forensics
Students gain confidence and the necessary communicative skills to be competitive in their personal, academic, and career life. Plus, it’s fun!
What is Forensics?
Forensics is intercollegiate speaking competitions that are held locally and across the nation on different college/university campuses.
Team members practice and compete individually or with a partner to uncover different kinds of truth through speech, performance, and/or debate. This activity serves as the applied or laboratory experience for many of the communication classes offered today (i.e., argumentation, public speaking, oral interpretation, etc.).
