Forensics

The Northwest Nazarene forensics (speech and debate) team offers an opportunity for students to hone their competitive speaking and performance skills. Previous speech and debate experience is not required to be a part of the team. The goal of this program is educational. Opportunities are provided for participants to become more effective communicators.

This page will link you to information on how to join the team, the areas we compete in, the scholarships we offer and the successes we've achieved at regional and national tournaments.

In the very near future you'll be able to browse these pages to learn more about the exciting activity known as forensics!  In the meantime, if you'd like more information immediately, email: mbadamson(at)nnu.edu.
