INDIVIDUAL EVENTS MAIN SESSION
(June 22 - July 12, 2025)

Major Events:

• Dramatic or Humorous Interp
• Extemporaneous Speaking & Student Congress (students will self-select for domestic or international focus, or may switch by day)
• Original Oratory or Informative Speaking
• Dramatic Duo (both students must attend)
• Prose, POI, or Poetry Interp

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.

Minor Events:

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:

• Extemporaneous Speaking 2 (for extempers who wish to focus on BOTH Domestic and International Extemp and for Interp or Oratory students who wish to study extemp as a second event)
• Oratory or Informative (curriculum & research only— due to time constraints, students will not write completed speeches in the minor program, but will work on the major planning elements)
• Dramatic or Humorous Interp
• Prose or Poetry Interp
• Dramatic Duo (both students must attend and enroll in the major/minor program)
• Impromptu Speaking

NOTE: POI is not available as a minor event.
