2017 New York - New Jersey State Championships

February 4, 2017

Hofstra University

Dear Colleagues:

I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2017 New York/New Jersey State Championship Tournament! We are excited to come together, once again to bridge our forensics landscapes together. This one-day tournament will crown a NY/NJ state champion in each event as well as determine the two Interstate Oratorical Association representatives for each state! The abbreviated schedule should alleviate the need for excessive travel or hotel stays. And we’re once again excited to be hosted by Hofstra University!

Respectfully,

Trent Webb

Tournament Director

Nassau Community College
