Students at the 每日大赛 competed in the College Union Poetry Slam Invitational (CUPSI), a three-day competition held at the University of Houston earlier this month. The team of four was among 60 other colleges and universities competing for top honors.<\/p>\n
\u201cCUPSI is a crazy experience,\u201d said Slam Poetry Team Captain Julio Garcia. \u201cYou meet a lot of amazing people from universities all over the U.S. and many opportunities to bond with them and learn about where they come from.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students enjoyed workshops, performances, and slam poetry competitions at the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cHearing everyone\u2019s stories and experiences through their poetry gives you a whole new perspective in life,\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n
In 2012, the 每日大赛 hosted the competition. The university has competed twice in the last three years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe students gain an insight into how linguistics is shared while promoting some form of either social justice topic or maybe a personal narrative, all in the spectrum of performance art,\u201d said Robert Ruiz, team advisor.<\/p>\n
