2nd Annual Cypress College Intramural Speech Tournament
The Cypress Forensics team hosted their second annual intramural tournament on May 1, 2026. Nineteen students from an assortment of communication courses competed on campus. The Forensics team and faculty volunteered their time to provide judges for the tournament.
This event would not have been possible without some amazing people. Special thanks to our tournament director, Sasha Kuczynski, for coordinating the event. We’d also like to thank Laura Powell, adjunct faculty, for volunteering their time to judge. Finally, a special thanks to the students from the Speech and Debate team for assisting in the hosting of this event.
