Do I have to have high school debate experience to debate at Augustana?
Recruits to the Augustana Debate Union range from students with no prior experience to top speakers at high school national championship tournaments. The style of debate Augustana participates in, NDT/CEDA, is the closest type of debate to high school policy and cross examination debate. But even if you have experience in Lincoln Douglas, Congress or Mock Trial, making the switch to policy debate is a comfortable transition.
