Only competitors of the highest caliber are allowed to participate in these tournaments, which include 18 students from Concordia.

"This is a great chance for our team to show what we do to a wider audience," explains Andrew Moffitt, director of forensics at Concordia. "We have been blessed to have a successful season with a very young team, and we are looking forward to sharing our success with our students, staff and the public."

The showcase will take place in the Thom Leadership Education Center Auditorium on Concordia's campus and is free and open to the public.
