Eleven

Eastern Michigan University's forensics program has a
long and storied history, winning 30 team state championships
and 10 team national championships, while producing 150
individual state and 63 individual national champions.
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.
