I'm Dr. Josh Hamzehee (he/him). I'm a 3rd year Director of Forensics at Santa Rosa Junior College in Santa Rosa, CA.

We currently focus on speech and interpretation events, with debate in the future, at a top 20 U.S. community college (2024). We have dorms to bring students closer to a university experience, with tuition a fraction of the cost of universities. We're excited to reach out If you have students in our area past or present who may be interested in more information, or would like to collaborate in a mutually beneficial way.
