One of our Study Abroad Alumus, senior Political Science major, Matthew Moore, whom studied abroad through the NIU at Oxford program in the summer 2016, was one of seven members of the NIU A Team. The NIU A team finished 6-2, earning one of seven bids to the next round of the national competition, the Opening Round Championship Series (ORCS).
NIU will be co-hosting the ORCS tournament at the Kane County Judicial Center in Geneva, IL, on March 16-18, at which 24 of the top college mock trial teams from around the country – including NIU – will compete for an opportunity to advance to the National Championship Tournament in April. The tournament is open to the public for viewing.
We wish Matthew and his team the best of luck!!! #GoHuskies #StudyAbroad
