The Speech and Debate Union (SDU) won three of three tournaments this semester during Director of Forensics Lou Tillson’s first year as coach.
The SDU competed in the 2021 academic year against teams from across the country. Last semester, the team had planned to compete in four tournaments but two were canceled because of COVID-19.
Tillson said the team suffered a negative impact last spring when the University switched to remote learning. The switch caused the team’s final tournament of the year, the Pi Kappa Delta National Comprehensive Tournament, to be canceled.
