The AUDI will run from July 28-August 1 at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA. The training will cover debate theory, research techniques, topic specific instruction, practice debates, and college bridge information. You will also attend lectures and participate in small lab groups. Breakfast, lunch and a snack will be provided.
