INDIVIDUAL EVENTS MAIN SESSION
(June 25 - July 9, 2008):
Full Room and Board: $1250
Commuter: $800
Minor Event add-on: $200
For the base tuition price, students will focus on one event. The faculty is experienced in all speech events, and as such, students may choose to study any of the following:
Major Events:
*Extemporaneous Speaking
*Original Oratory
*Dramatic or Humorous Interp
*Dramatic Duo (both students must attend)
*Prose or Poetry Interp
*Other
Additional events based on regional requirements may be added to suit an individual student's needs. Daily, students will engage in lectures on their specific areas, roundtable discussion sessions on topics, selections, question analysis, news and information, and individual appointments with faculty members as well as lab assistants.
For a minimal additional charge, students may choose two events in the major-minor program. Each student enrolling in the major-minor program must decide which two events s/he wishes to study, understanding that the event chosen for major study will be competition-ready when leaving the institute, and the event chosen for minor study will be researched, cut, analyzed and compiled, but perhaps not quite ready for competition. Available minor program events include:
Minor Events:
*Extemporaneous Speaking (may also be taken by Extemp majors who are serious about getting additional content coverage and practice speeches!)
*Oratory (curriculum & research only—due to time constraints, students will not write speeches in the minor program)
*Dramatic or Humorous Interp
*Prose or Poetry Interp
*Dramatic Duo (both students must attend and enroll in the major/minor program)
*Student Congress (NEW!)
*Impromptu Speaking (NEW!)
The major-minor program is designed to be an intensive educational experience, and will require a serious commitment from students.
L. D. AND B. J. NAEGLIN TUTORIAL EXTENSION IN INDIVIDUAL EVENTS:
(June 25 - July 13, 2008)
Full Room and Board: $1650
Commuter: $1100
Minor Event add-on: $200
Named in honor of UTNIF co-founders Lanny (in loving memory) and B.J. Naeglin, the Tutorial Extension has become one of the most popular add-ons of the UT Summer Institute. This special tutorial session provides focused, one-to-one attention for those students seeking the ultimate in preparedness for the upcoming forensics season. The Naeglin Extension is only available to students who have completed the Individual Events Main Session, and was founded at the request of UTNIF students who wanted to continue their training with intensive one-on-one work sessions with UTNIF faculty. The Tutorial is usually a complete sell-out, so make your plans early! Unlike in previous years, we will NOT be able to allow students to add the Tutorial after the start of the institute-- so register early.
