Strategies To Enhance University Support For Individual Events Programs, Edward J. Harris Jr.
Strategies To Enhance University Support For Individual Events Programs, Edward J. Harris Jr.
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
It is only fitting that we gather for this historic inaugural Conference on Individual Events as we stand on the doorstep of the 1990's. If intercollegiate Individual Events is to prosper in the decade ahead, it must entrench itself in the changing structure of University decision making. Forensics must exist in the context of an academic institution and so must make itself a valued aspect of that institution. In the 1990's that means survival in an atmosphere of budget cutting, concern for accountability and pleas for a return to basics. As a forensic coach, a teacher and a Department Chair, …

Creating A Climate Of Support For Forensics Programs, Larry Underberg
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
This paper offers three recommendations bearing on the general topic of administrative support and publicity.

The Cultivation Of Administrative And General Suppport For Individual Events Programs: Some Practiceal Suggestions, Robert S. Littlefield
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
In the proceedings for both the first and second developmental conferences on forensics, a number of issues were raised regarding administrative support or lack thereof for forensic programs. Six of the topics discussed in those proceedings are appropriate to the focus of this paper regarding administrative support and publicity: (1) Administrative support needs to be cultivated through enhanced awareness of forensic programs and their benefits for students (McBath, 13; Parson, 42); (2) the forensic community must work together to promote the activity (Parson, 48); (3) professional organizations must serve their members in a variety of ways (Parson, 39); (4) additional …
Earning Support For Individual Events Programs, Robert W. Greenstreet
Earning Support For Individual Events Programs, Robert W. Greenstreet
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
This paper is divided into four areas. The first provides suggestions for the general orientation of the individual events program. The remaining areas focus on the three major functions of colleges and universities in the U.S. today: instruction, scholarship, and service. (Scholarship is approached as undergraduate scholarship, as another conference group is focusing on in individual events.) In each area, I suggest steps directors of individual events programs may take to become a more integral part of the academic communities in which their programs are housed. Those steps take the form of recommendations. Only two of the recommendations in this …

Assessment In Forensics: It's A Dirty Job But We Need To Do It!, Kittie Grace
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
Cognitive, affective, and behavioral assessment are all necessary measures to understanding the effectiveness of any collegiate major or forensics team. As the Director of Forensics at Hastings College, I use all three measures to assess the strength of the current program and to track trends regarding the team. This discussion focuses on presenting different ways to assess your programs to increase depart-mental and institutional support for your forensics pro-grams.
