There’s No Debate: NOVA Forensics Team is Tops
The Forensics Team is one of NOVA’s best-kept secrets, but it’s time to give the team some much deserved attention! What exactly is the Forensics Team, you might ask?
According to Professor Saleha Bholat, who is in her first year as assistant director of the team, “The word, ‘forensics’, is derived from Latin and is closely related to ‘forum’. A forum is an open exchange of ideas in an atmosphere of respect and responsibility…’forensic competitions’ in debate, public speaking, and literature performance were often held in Ancient Greece and later in Rome to assist in teaching students how to make strong arguments and deliver them with passion”, and the Forensics Team at NOVA is a proud descendant of this incredible tradition.
