WDI proudly welcomes, Biza Repko, the 1995 CEDA champ, as our 2009 camp speaker.
The WDI is excited to announce that Anjali Vats and Sheryl Stanga will be joining the 2009 WDI staff !
We also welcome the return of Greta Stahl, the winner of the 2004 NDT , and Christine Malumphy, a semifinalist at the 2005 NDT.
Our 2008 & 2009 Celebrating Our Community dinners were a success! Check out pictures of these events.
The Women's Debate Institute's mission is to close the gender gap in debate by creating a robust community of girls and women who love debate. The WDI creates this community by hosting a four day LD and Policy camp in August in Port Townsend, Washington.
No matter what your skill level, top notch WDI staff including Greta Stahl, Christine Malumphy, and Linda Collier will teach you
how to be a better and more successful debater. But being a great
debater is only a part of the equation. The WDI will also teach you
what it means to be a woman in debate and will expose
you to the rich community of women in this activity.
We believe that community means making the WDI accessible to every
girl who wants to attend. To do this, we keep our registration fee as
low as possible--this year it's $325.00--and there are a number of
full tuition scholarships available.
As past years' students will tell you, the WDI experience is
unforgettable. We hope you can join us in August.
