SPEECH AND INDIVIDUAL EVENTS
June 28 - July 8, 2009
New for 2009 - 4 day intensive add-on (July 8 - 12)

The Northwestern University Speech Institute will offer an intensive study of both theory and practice in the competitive arena of high school speech. We will be offering four departments of individual event competition:

In each department, the Institute will offer specialized instruction from some of the country’s finest and most accomplished speakers. Realizing that competition rules vary from state-to-state for various events, our Institute will be equipped to adhere to your specific event and the rules governing that event in your state.

We intend to provide a summer experience which prepares students for success in their upcoming season of competition. For more information on NU’s Tournament of Champions, log on to www.tocextemp.com.

The Institute will accept up to a total of 70 students who demonstrate the academic and extra-curricular achievements that reflect a dedication to both intellectual and personal development. We are prepared to enhance your research and communication skills, whether you are interested in interpretation, extemporaneous speaking, oratory, debate, impromptu speaking, public forum or student congress. You will find the environment of the Institute nurturing and productive. Our goal is to make certain that you leave the Institute more prepared for competition in the 2008-09 season than your competitors across the country.
We are able to coach ALL state and NFL speech events.

New this year we are offering an additional 4 day intensive for those that would like to continue beyond the regular 10 day program. This 4-day intensive will provide nearly 1 to 1 student/faculty interaction and will allow students to absolutely perfect their competition work.
