UMHB Speech and Debate Team
The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Speech and Debate Team, also known as Speech Cru, competes around Texas and around the nation in forensics competition. We participate in the 11 AFA individual events plus NFA-LD debate. Descriptions of these events are available under the events tab. Our team began in 2003 and has grown and been more successful each year.
Throughout my time in Speech Cru, I had ample opportunities to learn and grow as a person. I was able to hone my speaking skills and get the chance to meet extraordinary people and travel to wonderful places. I gained both skills I can apply towards my future career and lifelong memories.
