"Thanks to forensics, I win trophies for spewing coherent nonsense aborad. Our society values the ability to continue speaking when no sentinent creature has the right to do so and forensics gives me that ability."

" The Marietta College Forensic Team has a wonderful way for me to
improve my communication skills while being involved on campus.
Through this team I have met many new people who are fun and
exciting. The atmosphere of the team is one of great excitement and
enthusiasm, which I love! Everyone is supportive and encouraging of
each other. With this sense of team I have been stretched my limits
and dared to do things I have never done before, which includes
entering in five categories during one tournament. Overall, my
experience at Marietta College would not be the same without the
forensics team. It has given me a chance to travel, make fun friends,
and become a better person. "

" I have never been a member of a forensics team before, but I am
finding that the time that I have spent participating on Marietta's
team thus far has been very rewarding. I appreciate the challenge
that preparing for competition has been, and I am excited about
growing as a public speaker as I continue in the program. "

"The Forensics Club allows me to practice one of the most essential skills in our society: public speaking. Being able to talk comfortably in front of a large group of people is a skill that will never go out of style. Being in Forensics gives me the opportunity to practice this talent that will accompany me my entire life. So far, the boons of being in this great organization have made all the hours of practice well worth every minute."

"The ability to speak well in front of others can be utilized throughout the course of a person?s life. The practice and experience that forensics provides are useful tools that participants can use for the rest of their lives. The fun is an added bonus that only makes it better. Yay forensics!"

"I am very happy to be a part of the forensics team. I love finally having an outlet for my very talkative personality!"

“Being on the Forensics team has been a way for me to step outside of my box, and I have learned that I LOVE it! Being able to express myself in a clear, coherent fashion – for the most part – is a great skill and has been helpful in so many areas of my life. Through the team, I was also able to meet many new people, on and off Marietta’s campus, and it’s been a blast!”
