The UTEP Forensics Team is the university’s nationally recognized speech and debate program. Rooted in UTEP’s commitment to access and excellence, the team empowers students to find their voice, tell their stories, and represent the Borderland on the national stage. Our students compete in public speaking, debate, and performance events and have won hundreds of awards, including multiple national championships in recent years.
Beyond competitive success, UTEP Forensics cultivates confidence, academic excellence, and professional readiness. We are dedicated to developing exceptional communicators, critical thinkers, and civic leaders, many of whom go on to graduate school, national fellowships, and leadership roles across fields.
By contributing to this initiative, you are helping UTEP Forensics students refine their voices, strengthen their competitive skills, and share stories of the Borderland with audiences across the country.
