Speech Team Thinking "Inside the Box" for Virtual Competitions

Professor Eric Mishne, assistant professor of communication and coach of the Cedarville University speech and forensics team, used to encourage his students to think outside of the box as they prepared for competition. But COVID has changed things.

"Now we have to think inside the box - literally, the box of the screen," said Mishne. "Everything a speaker does must fit inside the frame of the camera."

Instead of traveling to university campuses across the country and speaking in front of audiences and judges, the speech team must record and submit speeches online.
