position.  The person hired will be in charge of a growing speech and 
CEDA debate team that competes at regional (and occasionally national)

Speaking each year.

responsibility for planning, scheduling, budgeting, and travel 
arrangements for all tournaments attended.  Recruit and coach students in 
both individual events and debate.  Represent Seattle University as a 
coach and judge at tournaments.  Frequent travel is required.  Teach 
undergraduate courses in persuasive public speaking as necessary and 
available.   Teaching responsibilities include design and preparation of 
course content, teaching class and holding appropriate office hours, and 
grading student work.     

Desired Qualifications:  Masters in Speech Communication (or related 
field) plus experience coaching debate and speech at the university 
level.  Experience in forensics team administration.   Teaching 
experience in public speaking or communication is required for 
consideration for the teaching portions of this position.  Evidence of 
teaching effectiveness will be requested of finalists.  

Compensation:  To be determined.  Approximately $9000 for the forensics 
portion of the position plus course-by-course compensation for teaching.
