The DeMougeot Scholars Program

Eric and I were driving home yesterday from the TOC (we had 17 hours to reflect upon our debate career) and we realized we really couldn't have made it to the semis of the TOC without all the love and support that everyone at UNT had for us. We truly appreciate everything ya'll have done. Thank you so much.

Program Description

There are a few select programs around the country that offer instruction from some of the best teachers and competitors in our community.  It is widely regarded that the most decorated debaters in the nation attend these labs, which are selected most commonly for their instructors.  It is our belief that we have assembled 3-week Scholars labs that rival any of these specialized programs in the nation. 

The Scholars labs provides intensive instruction to some of our nation's finest policy debaters. We look forward to applications from many of the most reputable schools in the community.

The workshop will offer some of the best instruction in the nation on a broad range of issues. With rigorous lectures and practice sessions with many of the nation's finest debate minds, no rising junior or senior can afford to miss the opportunity to learn with this group.

We believe we have attracted a staff that provides unique expertise on the topic, offers experience and understanding of all traditional and cutting-edge debate arguments, and leads the community in the development of important theories on argument and debate theory.

Best of all, the Scholars program remains open admission! Scholars will be divided into 4 labs according to level of skill and years of competition. Year after year, we would be perfectly willing to challenge our institute's "top team" against that of any other institute in the country.

The 2008 Scholars program promises to rival every competitive specialized program in the nation!
