What areas are available for participation in forensics?
Lewis & Clark has a full selection of competitive and noncompetitive forensics activities. Competition in novice or junior divisions can challenge the beginner. Senior-division competition can challenge even the brightest, best-prepared, most experienced competitor. Lewis & Clark competes in NPDA and NPTE parliamentary debate and AFA individual events. Students from the College also compete in a full range of individual events including expository, extemporaneous, impromptu, and after-dinner speaking; oratory; communication analysis; and oral interpretation. Occasionally the squad is also involved in discussion, radio, and television speaking. In addition, Lewis & Clark has an extensive public forum-speakers bureau, which puts forensics squad members in front of college, high school, and community audiences for demonstration debates and speeches. The College works with the International Exchange Program to host debates on current controversial issues.
