Wellington Speech & Debate is returning to a (hopefully somewhat) more stable world in 2021-22. Barring any weird issues over the summer, we will be in person in the classroom this August. However, at this point, it looks like most (maybe all) national circuit tournaments will be virtual the first semester.
There’s still a lot of unknowns, and we should hopefully have a better idea by mid-July. However, one thing I do know is that we will need a lot of help from the entire varsity program in working with next year’s novices.
Meanwhile, here are the 2021-22 Wellington Speech & Debate student officers. All should be enrolled in the honors debate program next fall, which makes me very happy. Congratulations!
