The Carson-Newman Forensics Alumni Network is Established

Welcome to the Carson-Newman Forensics Alumni Network. Our organization comprises current and former members of the Carson-Newman forensics teams who wish to communicate, network, and  support the forensics program at our alma mater through volunteer service and monetary donations.

Our organization was founded by members of the 1984 team that finished in the top ten at the National Forensic Association national tournament. We plan to hold face to face meetings at the Gattlinburg tournament quadrennially. Look for more detail about the organization, and of course reports on the current CN team and its talented debaters, speakers, and performers.
