Judge Debates – Help Students Shine with the MN Urban Debate League This Fall

submitted by froehlic@augsburg.edu

Our students are brilliant – help them polish their skills so they can shine even brighter! ⭐

The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, is looking for caring volunteers who can help local high school students improve their argumentation skills as they debate about the implications of AI.

No experience is required! We’ll train you how to run the round, pick the winner fairly, and provide useful feedback for improvement. Judge virtually on upcoming Fridays or in-person in the Twin Cities Metro on upcoming Saturdays.

Plus, thanks to funding from the AmeriCorps Volunteer Generation Fund, we can provide transportation if needed!

Relevant Dates:

• Friday, Oct. 25th: 3:15-8:15 PM (Virtual)
• Saturday, Oct. 26th: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM (In-Person, Roseville)
• Friday, Nov. 8th: 3:15-8:15 PM (Virtual)
• Saturday, Nov. 9th, 9:00 AM-4:00 PM (In-Person, Central HS)
• Saturday Nov. 23rd, 9:00 AM-4:00 PM (In-Person, UMN Campus)
