Forensics Team Wins Many Awards at California Competition
In late January, six talented forensics students from Glendale Community College, each competing in several categories, won a total of 27 awards at the Southern California Urban Debate League Competition at California State University, Fullerton. The awards included 11 first place wins and eight second place wins. Competitive categories included Persuasive Speaking, After Dinner Speaking, Informative Speaking, Prose Interpretation, Poetry Interpretation, and Communication Analysis. "This is one of several important regional competitions in which our students must compete to accumulate enough points to compete in the national competitions later this year," said Communication Professor and Forensic Coach Kirt Shineman. "As of now, some of our team members already have enough points to go to nationals." GCC is located at 6000 W. Olive Ave. in Glendale.
