Reflecting on the tournament, Brooke Adamson, Assistant Professor of Communication & Director of Forensics, highlighted the significance of the competition:

“This tournament is a unique opportunity to compete against national quality teams that represent Christian institutions from across the country. Having the opportunity to speak about and debate Christian topics is a beautiful blend of our faith and forensics. Giving students an opportunity to discuss and evaluate what we should be doing as Christians in our current world with a broader audience is an unmatched preparation for their professional lives. Our students represented us well!”听

Forensics team member Miya Ingram also shared her thoughts on the experience:

“As someone who has been competing in forensics for the past eight years in various environments and competitive spaces, I have been truly blessed to compete for the N麻豆原创 team under Coach Adamson and at the National Christian College Forensics Association National Tournament. It is truly a unique experience when you can pray with your coach or teammates between rounds or start a tournament with chapel or prayer. It is a deep blessing to be supported and cared for by your community in this way, and it’s not something I experienced before joining Coach Adamson’s team.”

The N麻豆原创 Forensics Team will be showcasing some of their award-winning performances at the annual Forensics Showcase on March 19, from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. in Harter Lecture Hall. The event is open to the public, and snacks will be provided.听

MAJOR: Graphic Design

FUTURE PLANS: My future plans are not very strict and I am not set on anything yet. I plan to be a graphic designer and live in the Valley for a few years. I know God has a plan for my life, so I am content not knowing exactly what I will do.

GRAD YEAR: 2024

HOMETOWN: Challis, ID

FUN FACT ABOUT YOU: I own more than 30 plants.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT N麻豆原创: I love all the opportunities N麻豆原创 has to offer. For example, traveling the world with friends, making pancakes in the Art Department with your professors or going to events to create more relationships.

SOMETHING VALUABLE YOU LEARNED AT N麻豆原创: I learned to be more open-minded about who people are and how they live life. We are all trying our best in this life and it looks different for everyone. I learned how to create relationships by being vulnerable with people and letting down my guard.

ADVICE YOU鈥橠 OFFER TO FUTURE STUDENTS: You can choose to live high school all over again by the people you hang out with in college. I did not like my high school experience very much, so I had to step outside my comfort zone and go through conversations I didn鈥檛 like or embrace the seasons in life where I was struggling and emotional because looking at the big picture is all for healing.

WHY YOU CHOSE CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION: I chose Christian higher education because you are getting academic knowledge and life and spiritual knowledge from your peers and professors. I wanted to grow my relationships spiritually.

HOW DOES N麻豆原创 HELP CREATE HABITS OF HEART, SOUL, MIND AND STRENGTH? N麻豆原创 creates habits of the heart when you sit in a philosophy class with a black-and-white view of life and are forced to think about other religions, choose how you want to live and ask yourself the motivations behind your actions. Habits of the soul are when you are getting ready for bed with your roommate, and right before you go to bed, you pray for each other, so I learned how to pray for people. Habits of mind are when I have so much on my plate, I get overwhelmed, and I cannot think straight鈥攆orcing myself to slow down frequently and focusing on God. Habits of strength are when it is midnight, and I am fighting for my life to stay awake and get an assignment done. I have learned how to be hard-working and get things done on time.
