Open Team Try-Outs!
9/2
Time: 5:30 PM-6:30 PM

SMC's Macken Collegiate Forensics Team is holding open team try-outs! We are looking for a few new team members who like to speak, who would like to compete, and who have the potential to do well.

The info is:
WHEN: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd
TIME: 5:30 PM
WHERE: ASSUMPTION 100B

To try out, you'll choose ONE of the following three questions and respond to it for 2-3 minutes:

(1) If you were president and could change anything in the world, what would it be and why?
(2) What's the most important social issue facing Americans today and why?
(3) What's the most valuable kind of technology created recently, and why does it matter?

(You can use notes while you speak--no other aids.)

Come by, try out, find out about team membership, and meet current team members--see you there!
