UVM WINS NATIONAL
PUBLIC DEBATE CHAMPIONSHIP
The LDU was named the #1 school in America for bringing debate to a wider
public audience. Based on nominations and a committee consideration of a portfolio
of public debate activities, UVM finished ahead of the pack. Particularly
important were activities such as the weekly television show FLASHPOINT, international
activities, and Internet services to promote debate.
YOUNG DEBATERS
PERFORM WELL
The rest of the Nationals posse debated hard and performed well. Novices Vilasa
Campbell and Jillian Marty finished 3-5. Jennifer Knops and novice Abigail
Trebilcock were 2-6.
