Mitch Neher said:
"Being a member of the Forensics Team here at PSC is not about competing against students from other schools and worrying about whether you win or lose. Instead, it's only about challenging yourself to grow and develop and to improve and progress. Therefore, you can't lose, but you can only win by joining the Forensics Team at PSC."
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Forensics Team?
The Forensics Team (also called the Speech Team) provides students with the opportunity to improve their speaking skills while participating in intercollegiate competition. Just as with a sports team, members travel to different colleges and universities around Illinois (and beyond) to compete in tournaments against the students of other colleges and universities.
What happens at the tournaments?
Students typically compete in one or more events (such as Persuasive speaking or Prose Interpretation--click here to see an explanation of the different events) at each tournament. Judges will listen to their presentations, and trophies or medals will be awarded to the top six competitors in each event.
Can I join the PSC Forensics Team?
Yes, you can. The Forensics Team has regular practice sessions as indicated below. During these meetings, coaches will offer advice and assistance in developing members' presentations. Team members also help each other.
Meeting Schedule:
Tuesday, 2-3 p.m. in Room 2193 or 2612 Thursday, 2-3 p.m. in Room 2193 or 2612 (Other days and times will be arranged)
