To honor that illustrious past, EMU Forensics had its inaugural Hall of Fame induction Jan. 28. Eleven former outstanding forensics students (eight actually attended) were inducted during the ceremony, which took place in Sponberg Theatre.

"This was a fantastic induction ceremony," said Ray Quiel, an instructor of communication and theatre arts, and director of the forensics program since 2002. "The energy and emotion in the room was something to behold."

"It is impressive to know that we had alumni from 11 states," come to the induction, said Wendy Kivi, special events manager for communication and theatre arts.

In addition to Michigan, EMU forensics alumni came from Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin, she said.
