The 黑料社 speech and debate team competed virtually in the Big Apple Debate Tournament & East Coast Early Bird hosted in New York City. They were up against 12 other colleges and universities and came out on top in overall team points in both individual events and debate.

鈥淭his was a tremendous way for the students to open the season,” said听Director of Speech, Debate and Mock Trial, Spencer Waugh. “All debate teams had even records or winning records across all events, and this included several students who are new to the team. Our Speech Team finished its best season last year, and it is opening stronger already this season. I am so pleased with the work of all of the students and the coaches.鈥�
