🦅 UMW Debate may be small in size, but we try to multiply our impact in service to our communities. UMW Debate conducts multiple public debate events for the UMW community every year, and our students and coaches give back to the debate community in many ways, including serving as tournament hosts, judging extra rounds, writing topic papers, administering tournaments, serving in multiple positions on the topic committee, and in many elected and service positions in the ADA, CEDA, and the NDT over the last four decades. AND for a pretty small squad, we've also helped train some exceptional coaches and directors in our activity. If some part of our program has helped you or your program in a positive way, please help us out today with a donation to help keep us punching above our weight!🦅
Help UMW Debate soar! We have an initial goal of getting 50 individual donations to unlock an additional $1000 gift. Each donation helps, so if you can spare $1, we would greatly appreciate it. Donate directly to UMW Debate here: http://givingday.umw.edu/amb/Umw-debate
