kwright — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:04:36 +0000

The Texas Debate Collective is a nonprofit organization devoted to providing free or low-cost debate education to communities across Texas. Our Summer institute began a movement to create a spirit of openness and competitive equity in the state. This December, we are extending that commitment . Join us from December 27 to 30 on the campus of Strake Jesuit College Preparatory in Houston for three days of intense study and topic preparation. Our faculty includes Ryan Bennett, Chris Castillo, Andrew Cockroft, Tom Evnen, Monica Ghosh, Ryan Graham, Chris McMichael, Shane O’Neal, Devin Race, Becca Traber, Andrew Waks, Andy Werner, Kris Wright, and more. Murvin Auzenne will act as dorm director.

Commuters: $200 (tuition)

Out of Towners: $325 (tuition + hotel)

20-30 students will be fully subsidized by the Collective.

More information about staff and housing will be posted as further commitments are finalized. We’ll keep you posted!

(note: this is last summer’s flier, so there are some details that will likely change. It is intended only as a guide for what the 2010 Summer TDC will be like.)
