Networking for College
posted by Jon Cruz on May 14th, 2008
NEW YORK, N.Y. — My understanding from conversations with my own students and with debaters elsewhere is that if you’re attending college this fall, you’ve pretty much made up your mind where you’re attending by this point.
I’d like to provide one final update of “The College Connection.” This is intended as a place for celebration, but also a place for networking; indeed, if you’re coming to New York, in addition to posting here, drop me a line so we can network about judging, coaching, and so on. (There are plenty of area programs looking for assistants!)
Where are you going? What about your teammates? Where are they going?

While anyone can certainly contact me regarding Penn, anyone who is going to be in the Philadelphia area in general should definitely contact me about opportunities to give back to debate through Perspectives Debate, Inc. We are currently helping 10 Philadelphia public schools implement debate programs and have MANY other opportunities for former debaters at Penn and other area schools to give back. Working with Perspectives has, unquestionably, been the best thing I’ve done in college and I’d love to see more people join up.
So, please let me know if you’re interested or have questions: huberlie AT sas DOT upenn DOT edu.

I transferred from U of Chicago to UC Berkeley, and would be happy to talk about either.

re: Carnegie-Mellon
Pitt is literally next door, and there is a precedent for CMU students competing as part of the Pitt team (we have one this year). So if you like debate and you’re going to CMU, you might be able to keep your career going.
