Description
In this issue, we celebrate the USA Debate team’s historic win at the 2023 World Schools Debating Championships. As Cindi and Aaron Timmons prepare to step back from the World Schools limelight after 10 years of leading the team, Cindi talks about her journey in speech and debate and offers tips for finding new ways to stay involved in the activity. Also inside, we speak with several speech and debate alumni, including David Henry Hwang, Michael Franklin, and AnnMarie Baines, who make their words come to life as playwrights, screenwriters, authors, and more. Plus, we highlight the winner, finalists, and semifinalists of the inaugural NSDA Activating Equity Award. We learn more from volunteer coach Brandon Batham, who led the 2022 and 2023 national champion team in World Schools Debate, and we chat with Arizona’s McKinley Paltzik, the back-to-back national champion in International Extemporaneous Speaking.
