Department Spotlight: Forensics Team Earns Top Honors |
|
The El Camino forensics team recently attended four tournaments and amassed enough points at each to win the overall top sweepstakes award.
The tournaments included The Watson-Lancer Invitational at Pasadena City College; The Crossman Invitational at El Camino College; The Dahlin Invitational at Palomar College; and the Griffin Invitational at Grossmont College. Each tournament had between 14 and 17 two- and four-year colleges and universities.
At the Dahlin, El Camino swept the open (highest division) awards in Impromptu Speaking. At the Griffin, El Camino advanced two of the four open division teams in open Parliamentary Debate elimination rounds, and a shocking six of the eight in novice.
El Camino ended up taking most of the awards, including the top five. Congratulations to the entire team, which was lead by Francesca Bishop (Director of Forensics), Joseph Evans, and Brittany Hubble.

For over eight years, the Redondo Beach Rotary Club has been a generous Foundation donor, supporting scholarships, the Warrior Pantry, Warrior Closet and Community Partners programs. The club even purchased a brand new commercial refrigerator for use by the Warrior Pantry.
On October 12th, El Camino College was invited to speak to their weekly meeting, where Sharonda Barksdale, Kim Cameron, and Andrea Sala provided an educational overview of the College, Foundation, and the basic needs services offered to students. A check was presented to the Foundation and food items were donated to the Warrior Pantry. Thank you so much Redondo Beach Rotary -- we truly appreciate your continued support!

Help us finish 2022 strong! Your generosity can help change a student's life. Please consider making a gift to the El Camino College Foundation and designating it to a cause that is meaningful to you.
Why do we give to the El Camino College Foundation? We give because we believe in El Camino's mission. We give because we love the faculty and staff. We give because our lives and our families' lives have been positively impacted by ECC. We give because El Camino is OUR Community College. This is who we are and why we continue to support the ECC Foundation.
