The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, makes debate teams possible in Twin Cities schools for 1,400+ students! For the first time, MNUDL is now an Augsburg Experience program.
You can support our youth and gain valuable skills as part of the AUGEX5B Special Immersion: MN Urban Debate League course.
Benefits of participating:
• This counts toward your Augsburg Experience requirement, but it’s a 0-credit course, so you do NOT have to pay for participation.
• No specific major requirement!
• By participating, you can become qualified to judge multiple types of debate, which can lead to future paying gigs with the MNUDL!
**WE WELCOME SPANISH SPEAKERS!** There are unique opportunities to engage Spanish-speaking kids and celebrate the beauty of the language through this Augsburg Experience.
The spring semester course will take place from 12:30-1:30 PM on Fridays. The location will be the Anderson Hall basement (near the Campus Cupboard and MNUDL office.)

We have changed the company we order our business cards through. The Online Ordering page has been updated to take you to the new forms through Loffler and the copy request page. The Order Business Cards page had directions in the red box. The link will use your Augsburg ID to log into the Copy Request page. You will want to select “Forms Module” under the Orders menu along the top of the page. Next select your cost center number by clicking on the green check mark next to it. Follow the instructions found on the next page. There are four business cards types.
Augsburg-IA are for Institutional Advancement Department
Augsburg-Athletics are for the Athletics Department
Augsburg-CGEE are for Center for Global Education and Experience
Augsburg-Auggies are the general business cards for Augsburg University
The system will show you a preview as you fill out the form. You should order in boxes of 100, 250, 500 or 1,000 business cards. As usual business cards will be sent in a batch order every other week and normally take about a week to receive back once the batch is sent. They will then be delivered with your department’s mail. If you do not have a mail drop off they will be in the department’s campus box for pick up. The cards will be charged to the cost center number with the Accounting paperwork at the end of the month. Please contact copyctr@augsburg.edu if you have any questions.

MNUDL Seeks East African Students and Professionals: Get Paid to Judge East African Debate League
EARN $55 PER TOURNAMENT AS A DEBATE JUDGE!
The Minnesota Urban Debate League is a program of Augsburg University. We provide academic competitive debate programming to middle and high school students. Augsburg alum Awale Osman developed the Somali Debate Institute (now East African Debate League) to provide a culturally specific space for East African students to gain debate skills like public speaking, argumentation, and more. Our East African Debate League provides a space for East African students to celebrate their culture and community while learning debate skills.
This year’s debate topic, held in English, will center on the benefits and drawbacks of culturally-specific versus integrated education systems.
We’re looking for caring adults who have deep ties to the East African community (with or without debate experience!) to join us. As a judge, you’ll listen to students speak, provide constructive feedback, and choose a winner of each debate at weeknight tournaments.
You must be 18+ and pass a background check to volunteer and/or be paid $55/tournament as a debate judge.
Opportunities include:
Tues., December 17th: 3:15-7:15 PM
Tues., January 14th: 3:15-7:15 PM
Tues., February 4th: 3:15-7:15 PM
Sign up to be a debate judge here by clicking the shift of your choice: https://mnudl.augsburg.edu/volunteer-opportunities/
This is an excellent opportunity for East African-focused community or student groups to fundraise! Please reach out to Melekh Akintola at akintola@augsburg.edu for more information about fundraising as a group.
(Concerned about transportation? No problem! Thanks to our AmeriCorps Volunteer Generation Fund, we can book you an Uber for free! Please sign up and email our Volunteer Coordinator, Johan at udlvolunteers@augsburg.edu for more information.)
