FORENSICS
Forensics is intercollegiate competition in the areas of public speaking, oral interpretation and debate. Forensics students attend regular class meetings and travel all over the world to compete with other college students. During each Forensics season, the typical student travels to approximately four to eight tournaments, performs with other forensics students in intimate settings, and writes or compiles three to six original ten-minute presentations. The student not only performs, but also views about 300 student presentations. With this kind of opportunity, students experience accelerated growth in their performance skills, public speaking skills, self-esteem, and interpersonal communication skills.

The Speech Performance Night is a showcase of the best presentations performed by the Forensics Team throughout the year. It's a fun-filled evening of power and panache; the public is invited to attend. For more information on this project call Janet Brehe Johnson (925) 424-1145, Tim Heisler (925) 424-1147 or James Dobson (925) 424-1189.
