Passionate about seeing students succeed? Whether you’re a former debater or new to the activity, you’d be a great fit for our Advocates for Debate Board! bit.ly/MNUDLAdvocatesBoard
The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University is seeking professionals of all ages to join our Advocates for Debate initiative.
The goal of Advocates for Debate is to bring together people who are interested in supporting the MNUDL by:
• Connecting with members of the MN Speech and Debate community through networking happy hours, lunches, and a shared membership list, with a goal of creating opportunities for cross-generational & multi-regional connections. We want debate alums from all schools from every generation to know one another!
• Tackling part of the MNUDL strategic plan that is of interest to the members; examples could include: connecting with MNUDL alums, growing partnerships with schools and school districts, and creating corporate or law firm partnerships.
• Fundraising to support the MNUDL through a personal donation as well as using your network to support debate. This could include employer matched gifts, writing a letter of support for a grant from an employer, corporate sponsorship, paid volunteer time, and more.
• Sharing their Time: You are welcome to join with whatever level of engagement you can bring. We plan to have a first organizational meeting via Zoom to plan for our first year and by joining, you get to help determine our plan. We will also plan for fun in-person happy hours here in the Twin Cities.
