WHAT IS FORENSICS?

 

If you like to advocate, perform, travel, and grow, join the SRJC Forensics Speech, Debate, and Performance Team! We offer students opportunities to develop, refine, and practice communication skills. SRJC has a 100-year history of developing new speakers into confident performers, and guiding competitors to intramural tournament success, state titles, and national championships.

Get transferable and repeatable units (Comm 52A or B), enroll and compete every semester, grow communication and performance skills, play and experiment with ideas, advocate for a better world, make memories and connections, travel to new cities and campuses, expand your worldview, enhance your resume for your career, transferring, and graduate school, and work to be a national champion… all in a fun and supportive atmosphere!
