We are proud to work with the Utah High School Forensics community. Our goal is to assist the local debate community by offering coaching/judging support to high schools in need, by offering scholarships to promising high school competitors and by offering our campus for tournaments.

The University of Utah is proud to host the Great Salt Lake Invitational (GSL), our inter-collegiate forensics tournament. The GSL is one of the oldest and most historic tournaments in the western United States.

The program hosts two public events per year, one each semester. These events strive to address issues of importance to the local community, involve university students and members of the local community, and showcase a variety of forms of public argument. The events are free and open to the public.
