About Us
Welcome to the Speech Team at UCLA, a competitive, student-driven organization dedicated to the art of public speaking. As UCLA's premier intercollegiate speech organization, we provide a platform for students to refine their public speaking, argumentation, and performance skills. Our team competes in a variety of speech events, including limited preparation events, platform speaking, and interpretation events, representing the university at tournaments across the nation. Beyond competition, we foster a close-knit community through regular practices, workshops, and social events, offering an environment where members grow as communicators, thinkers, and leaders. Join us on Tuesdays from 7:00 - 9:00 pm in Dodd Hall 170 to learn more!

Team Membership
Team Membership
What is Team Membership?
We offer the opportunity to attend speech tournaments and compete at the collegiate level. These speech tournaments allow members to develop their public speaking abilities, earn feedback and awards from competitions, and network with other speakers from different schools. The commitment level for Team Membership is heavier, so there are higher expectations.
Team Membership meetings take place Tuesdays from 8:00 - 9:00pm in Dodd Hall 170. Newcomers are welcome to join us, and those interested in officially becoming a part of Team Membership can reach out to a Team President.
