TSU Speech and Debate Team are
looking for college students and seniors in High School who are interested in
public speaking, and learning how to construct arguments. As a Speech and
Debate National Champion, I have developed skills that I will be able to take
on in my career and in my personal life that can help with effective communication
and being more detail-oriented. It is crucial to this program that we find more
like-minded individuals who are not afraid to speak out on public issues and
speak up for what is right. We are striving to make Speech and Debate a more inclusive space but
in order to that we have to have individuals who are willing to learn argumentation
skills and take on the initiative of constructing academic arguments, that can
change or shed light to a social issue that is happening within our community
that is not being discussed. The purpose of Speech and Debate is to prepare students
for the real world. Most students that leave Speech and Debate become Lawyers,
Doctors, Actors and ACTIVIST! This is what we are preparing our students for and
attending a Historically Black College adds on to the amazing college
experience of black competitors at TSU.
