Over 4,000 Michigan high school debaters and their teachers have honed skills and deepened their understanding of the annual debate resolution to help prepare them for a tough season of competition. Nationally renowned experts help students and teachers learn the history and economic, political, and social implications of each year's topic. Championship debate teams credit these day-long workshops with helping them win. Students pay a nominal fee to attend their choice of five Michigan locations in early Fall.
