The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, is celebrating 15 years of debate! With more than 1,200 debaters at 40 schools, we’re inspired to ask - What would our Minnesota schools look like if every student had access to debate?
More lifelong learners. More critical thinkers. More active global citizens committed to making change. With more young people empowered by the tools debate provides - including 98% college acceptance, 12-14% higher reading comprehension, increased GPA & advanced class placement - the next 15 years of Minnesota Urban Debate inspire us to dream big!
You can celebrate with us by contributing to our 2019 Give to the Max goals:
- Give Debate: Any one-time gift of any size contributes to our goal of $15,000.
- Become an Advocate for Debate on our UDL website - help us reach our goal of 50 monthly donors! Bonus: You’ll enjoy a debate-themed gift item if you become an Advocate for Debate, giving over $15/month! Your 15th Anniversary Donor Reward includes an MNUDL tote bag and your choice of a ceramic mug or travel mug.
- Share Your Story! New this year: help us reach our goal of collecting 15 debate stories. Reminisce and share with us via Google Form.
