Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Western States Communication Association and Arizona State University, we invite you to Phoenix, Arizona for the WSCA Forensics Tournament. The tournament will be held on February 17-19, 2023. This year, we plan to offer in-person competition opportunities in individual events, IPDA, NPDA, NFA-LD, and BP.
As the only remaining tournament sponsored in conjunction with a regional communication conference, we also encourage attendees to participate in the WSCA Conference. On Friday, February 17, 2023, undergraduate students will have the opportunity to present their original research at the Undergraduate Scholars Research Conference (please see www.westcomm.org for submission deadlines and details). Additionally, the Western Forensics and Argumentation interest group will sponsor a showcase of IE events during the WSCA convention.
We looking forward to seeing you in Phoenix!
