Hello Coaches, Competitors, and Judges!
 
We are well on our way with the OATS season this year! OATS #4 promises to continue the tremendous competition we have seen for the OATS so far! 
 
As you've seen, the OATS fee is $200 for the 22-23 season (which pays for all remaining OATS slots that are covered). We will maintain a $10/uncovered slot fee, and we will continue the fee waivers for student-run teams or those experiencing financial hardship. Look for a financial report from the 2021-22 season coming soon on the Outspoken Culture website. 
 
The dates for video submission for the OATS include:
Mon, Dec 5
Mon, Jan 23
Mon, Feb 27
 
We look forward to continuing to support student advocacy, accessibility, and health/wellness this 22-23 Season. Full information is available on the OATS Invite (available on Speechwire and the Outspoken Culture website). If you have questions feel free to contact Julie Walker by phone (call or text 706-844-2773) or email (julie.walker@smsu.edu). 
 
Sincerely,
 
Julie Walker
Southwest Minnesota State University
Assistant Director of Forensics
