The Oregon Forensics alumni dinner is Saturday evening from 6:00-9:00, February 28th, 2015, in the Gerlinger Alumni Lounge on the campus of the University of Oregon. Dinner service should begin around 6:30 and guests are free to come and go. There are three excellent dinner options and Oregon wines and Eugene microbrews will be available for purchase.

The dinner occurs during the first annual David Frank Tournament of Scholars.

The naming of the tournament and the gathering of alumni recognize Dr. Frank’s contributions to college debate and to forensics as the cornerstone of a scholarly life. David was the Director of Forensics from 1981-2013 and the Dean of the Clark Honors College. David continues his impressive scholarship as Professor of Rhetoric.

Several forensics alumni will share their experiences, headlined by Amanda Marshall, US Attorney for the District of Oregon. Ms. Marshall was a successful Oregon debater and a work study student for Dr. Frank.

Alumnus Scott Palmer has prepared a short piece he will perform at the event. Palmer is a successful playwright and the Founder and Artistic Director of the award-winning Bag and Baggage Theatre Company in Portland.

Join us in Eugene to celebrate Oregon Forensics and honor one of its great leaders.
