Looking Towards the Year Ahead
This upcoming fall is a busy time for the Debate Team! Coming up on October 24-25, we have the Yale IV, a British parliamentary style tournament that will serve as preparation for the Cambridge University IV in England in mid-November. Bates plans to send three extremely competitive varsity teams to Cambridge, so stay tuned for updates on the team's performance abroad. We're also looking forward to celebrating Halloween at the Brown debate tournament on October 31 to November 1 as well as the Tufts Pro-Am the following weekend.- A Note from Brooks Quimby's New Coach
