What do SNFI graduates say?
"The best thing about SNFI's IE and Extemp program is the emphasis on preparation. Whether it is practice rounds, instruction on the basics, or getting tons of quality research materials, I left this camp prepared. I would most definitely recommend SNFI to my teammates and fellow competitors. The camp gets the job done by having a top-notch staff equip us with the foundation, knowledge, research, and practice to be a successful forensics participant."
-Jerome Pandell SNFI 2000 IE/Extemp

"I would most definitely recommend this camp to others because of the amount that other students and I have learned from SNFI."
