Hey all, Early Decision is coming up soon and I want to encourage people to look into debating for Columbia University for the next four years.

I don't think I need to go into detail about how great New York City is and how highly-regarded Columbia is in all fields of study. However, perhaps more relevant to debate, the New York City area is one of the most underrated places to have a debate experience. Not just are there countless internships, jobs, and opportunities stemming from having a debate background, we are within just a few bus/train hours of major tournaments at Harvard, West Point, Wake Forest, and Kentucky. We also host our own round robin the last weekend in January.

Because the team is small, the adage that "you get back what you put in" is especially true. Teams from Columbia have cleared at CEDA multiple times and we just qualified our first team in the school's history to the NDT last year. There are many opportunities to compete as a freshman at major tournaments and to stand out at a school that values smart debate and a closely-knit team.

If you have any questions about debate, admission, academics, or New York City itself, email me at jakeshaner@gmail.com.

Best wishes during this busy time of year,

Jake

I don't think there's an official website for the policy debate team. Columbia University does have policy debate listed as an activity, however: http://www.cuactivit.../rep_assign.php. If you're interested, you should contact Jake
