From Memphis to Wichita State/Wichita East High to the University of Massachusetts, Melissa E. Swauncy is a trendsetter, debate savant, doctorate student, and educator. Via the expired Memphis Urban Debate League, our paths crossed. Fast forward to now, our paths cross again. Join us as we discuss the benefits and power of debate in your classroom: academic achievement, enhanced writing, research, and speaking skills, college scholarships, improved literacy, etc.
