High School Forensics
In addition to my technical and educational work at the University, I strongly support local forensics (speech and debate) activities at the high school level. I am the head coach for the debate team at Robert McQueen High School in northwest Reno, and in my capacity as coach am responsible for teaching students how to speak and argue on a variety of moral, political, and other current issues of public interest. I also help run local forensics competitions in which my students compete on a monthly basis.
If you have any questions about speech and debate or the work I do related to this activity, or if you would like to volunteer any time to the activity (we always seek community involvement at our weekend tournaments), please send me an email - I would love to answer any of your questions or tell you how you can get involved.
