The CSUF Speech and Debate team, with more than four decades of success, is a leading driver of free speech, and has been a vehicle to propel many undergraduates to greatness.
Students involved in speech and debate, also known as forensics, participate in intellectual competition in both individual events and debate while also enhancing critical research and communication skills. Beyond these skills, students learn about the importance of teamwork, responsibility, and leadership. Without a doubt, forensics is one of the most empowering activities that students can participate in.
Funding for scholarships allow us to support our students as they compete at tournaments against schools like Harvard, Berkeley, and USC.
With your gift today, you can ensure Titans can excel at the highest level of competition without worry of the financial barriers or travel expenses that could keep them from participating in such high-impact practices.
Thanks to contributions from our matching gift sponsors, you can maximize the impact of your gift. $1,250 will be unlocked when 20 or more donations are made to support the Speech and Debate team.
