Much Ado About Nothing: The World of Student-Led Debate Organizations
Kai Yuet Zhang | 4/30/25
"On this long and winding path to changemaking, we can only attempt our best and hope it gets us somewhere.

In choosing to even attempt this, I thank you for being rather noble and truly courageous."

Meera Shah | 4/16/25
“This style of debate helps combat many accessibility concerns in the forensics community while also bringing debate back to its core of nuanced argumentation about critical world issues and important questions of our time.
