The 2008 MUDI Begins With Faculty Orientation

The 29th edition of the Marquette University Debate Institute got underway today as the faculty convened for an afternoon orientation session. Meanwhile, residential students made their way to Milwaukee and checked into the residence hall.


Institute Director Tom Noonan, the Director of Debate at Marquette University, welcomed the diverse faculty to Milwaukee and highlighted the institute's commitment to a collaborative teaching environment that maximizes the educational value we offer to our students. He was joined by Associate Director Timothy Dale and Georgia State University's Dr. Carol Winkler as the faculty became acclimated to the curriculum, the institute philosophy, and the best practices for working with our students.

The hard work begins tomorrow as students and instructors meet for the first time. Updates will continue to be provided throughout the institute.
