Many traditions got adjusted this year and one of them included awarding our seniors with their debate gavel at graduation. Thank you Luis Trejo for making the best of this year and being a great capitan. He will be attending @LifeAtPurdue in the fall.

Great read on urban debate via @nytimes! “On one hand, we talk about one resolution a year, & they had, like, six of those in that one debate... on the other hand, we talk about one resolution a year, & we aren’t dodging questions & salting each other.”

For those who recently attended a debate camp, the Democratic debates were not a chance to undercut rivals or wring donations but something else: a lesson plan.

We were so inspired by Champion of Debate @LisaMadigan at today's @ChicagoDebates luncheon and we couldn't agree with her more: "students with access to Chicago Debates will be our leaders now and in the future."

As a former debate coach, I know firsthand how the sport gives students a platform to discuss topics they truly care about. Thank you @ChicagoDebates for giving our students this opportunity.
