The Minnesota Urban Debate League has its greatest goal yet: $50,000 to connect Twin Cities metro students with debate!
The MNUDL is a program of Augsburg University. The mission of MNUDL is to empower students through competitive academic debate to become engaged learners, critical thinkers, and active global citizens who are effective advocates for themselves and their communities. Currently, MNUDL serves more than 1,000+ students at 40+ partner schools and has seen sustained growth in student participation since its inception in 2004.
This year, we are asking for your support to help our growing programs succeed as we return to in-person programming. We held virtual debates throughout 2020 and early 2021, and we're excited to be back in person with safety and fun in mind.
There are many ways you can help support our programs this year!
