The 2010 University of Michigan Debate Institutes
June 20 - August 7, 2010

"The decision to spend seven weeks of my summer doing debate work was a tough one for me, but I knew I made the right choice when I got to Michigan. It's filled with brilliant lab leaders at every level of the program who genuinely care about your progress, and it enabled me to improve every aspect of my debating without feeling overburdened or stressed out. I would recommend it to any one who wants a competitive edge earned in the company of people who share your love for the game." "I've told all our Juniors to go to Michigan Seven Week next year. Given the time available and quality of the lab leaders, you are guaranteed to improve in almost every imaginable aspect of your debating. If I could go back, I'd go to Michigan again." "Attending Michigan Seven Week Seniors was definitely the right decision. Michigan offers a rigorous debate program that has prepared me to excel at every aspect of debate. With dedicated lab leaders that work countless hours, high-quality evidence, practice debates, and lectures, Michigan creates champions." "The Seven Week Seniors Lab was not only the most rigorous camp experience I've had in high school, but also the most rewarding. The lab leaders really had a vested interest in making sure we all left with progress, whether that be skills in round or research before it. The new ways I learned how to execute arguments as well as think about debate as a whole made it possible for me to truly prepare myself for a competitive year."
