It is the mission of Emerson Forensics to encourage students to participate in intercollegiate speech and debate, to be aware of important national and international issues, to train students to speak in public forums, and to critically examine the world around them. Emerson Forensics is dedicated to helping students become more informed, thoughtful citizens who can communicate their ideas, thoughts and opinions effectively.
