The 1-Week Public Forum Workout is designed for students who don't have the time to complete the full 2-Week Core Public Forum Program.  We recommend that students who are able choose to attend the 2-Week Core Public Forum Program or the 3-Week Public Forum Experience.  Based on past requests, we recognize that some students are unable to fit the full program into their summer and offer this shortened program to allow more students to sharpen their Public Forum skills over the summer.

The 1-Week Public Forum Workout is designed as an opportunity for students to sharpen their skills ahead of the next competitive season.  SNFI strongly suggests that students enroll in the 2-Week Core Public Forum Program if their schedules allow, and in particular NOT attending just the second of the two consecutive 1-Week Workout sessions that corresponds to the 2-Week Core session.  Our curriculum is designed around a full two week-long experience in order to cover the full spectrum of relevant material.  Note that the academic experience is not tailored to students attending the 1-Week Workout, so students may arrive/depart in the middle of important materials without being at a logical start/stop point, and our staff is unable to make special accommodations for students who are departing early from or arriving late to the 2-Week Program via enrollment in the 1-Week Workout.
