THE STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM’S GOALS

Our Student Leadership Team has identified the following priorities:

Creating Resources and Support Systems

The SLT is working to create shared resources between teams, including an evidence drive, practice and demo debates. They are also working to emphasize open-sourcing and disclosing on the wiki.

Making Tournaments Fun, Engaging and Comfortable

The SLT is working to make MNUDL tournaments more approachable and fun, through spirit days and activities, and by working to make sure everyone has a place and person to turn to.

Promote League-Wide Community & Unity

Closely related to the two goals above, the SLT aims to connect debaters, schools and programs. They’re working to implement sister schools, and improve outreach between our 6 different programs.
