can be no longer than 5 minutes.
Written speech submissions are due by 4:00PM on Friday, April 4, 2025 via this form. Auditions will be held on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 from 12:00PM -3:00PM in
the Student Activities Center Sidney Gelber Auditorium. Your audition appointment
on April 9th will be determined upon eligibility and receipt of your speech submission.
