"After just over a year since being reinstated, NSU’s Forensics Team has earned rankings in a state competition. The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Forensics Association State Championship Tournament invites surrounding speech and debate teams to compete across two days and was held in Tulsa for its second year. Under the guidance of Amber Margarit, forensics coach, each of the four members who competed placed in their respective speech categories.

Due to the pandemic, and the scarcity of nearby tournaments, the team typically competed through an online format by recording their speeches and sending them in for assessment. OIFA State Championship Tournament is the first in-person competition the current team has participated in..."
