THE WESTERN STATES COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION FORENSICS TOURNAMENT
February 14-16, 2025
Hosted by
The University of New Mexico

Dear Friends, 

On behalf of the Western States Communication Association and University of New Mexico, we invite you to Albuquerque, New Mexico for the WSCA Forensics Swing. The tournament will be held on February 14-16, 2025. This year, we plan to offer in-person competition opportunities in individual events, IPDA, NPDA, and NFA-LD.

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 14, 2025, 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 New Mexico!

Campus Parking Information!!!

Please note that parking fees are still enforced on the weekends and will be during the tournament. There are metered spots along the street outside of the building that will be primarily used for competition. There is also a parking garage (Cornell Parking Structure). Both areas charge approx. $1.75 per half hour. Visitors should be sure not to park in any spots label "permit parking". Meters DO NOT TAKE CASH, only card.
