Dear Colleagues,
The Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League, in conjunction with Oakland University, invites you

Rochester, Michigan. The tournament will take place on Saturday, December 12th and will be

a while and seeing all of the Michigan teams at the tournament!
The 2015 Fall M.I.S.L Tournament will offer all 11 NFA and AFA Individual Events. Awards will
be given to the top debate school, the top I.E. school and that top overall school. In addition, we
award the top six I.E. finalists and the top two Parli teams. We will also recognize the top
novice and the top three schools overall. Students will be allowed to triple enter in each flight –
unless you’re in Parli. Entries are due by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, December 8th. We look forward
to hosting you this year!!

Here is the web address to access the campus map of Oakland University.
http://www.oakland.edu/apps/showmap.aspx
From the South: Take I-75 North. Exit at University Drive, stay in your right hand lane and follow
this road into campus. South Foundation Hall is the large building to your left. Follow the circle
drive around and park in front of the building.
From the North: Take I-75 South. Exit at University Drive and turn left at the street light. Then,
follow this road into campus. South Foundation Hall is the large building to your left. Follow the
circle drive around and park in front of the building.
If you are traveling from East or West, please get to I-75, as this is your most direct route onto
Oakland’s campus.
Parking should not be an issue as Oakland University does not charge to park on campus. The
university will have Fall Graduation running on the same day as the tournament but our early
start time and the building we’re using (further away from where graduation takes place) should
allow us to avoid any issues.
Emergency:
In case of emergency, call Campus Police (248.370.3331) or notify Charlie Rinehart
(586.801.3381).
There are a few hotels near campus, but if you’d like/need further information about this please
do not hesitate to contact the tournament director (Charlie Rinehart – rinehart@oakland.edu).
