EMORY NATIONAL DEBATE INSTITUTE June 3-12, 2018 Public Forum Debate Commuter Emory National Debate Institute Public Forum Commuter Program 1 of 6 For over forty years, Emory University has offered the highest quality summer instruction available. Our forensics Institutes appeal to teachers and students who want a substantive and stimulating educational experience. The Emory National Debate Institute (ENDI) offers diverse educational opportunities for students at all levels of debate experience. Emory welcomes beginning, intermediate, and advanced students in debate. A unique environment and course of instruction leave graduates of the Institute enriched and more prepared to meet their potential. Three primary operating principles govern institute instruction. First, we educate a diverse student population. Exposure to students from other backgrounds is an invaluable part of the Emory experience. Second, we hire the most talented teaching faculty. We are proud to offer a core faculty of qualified and experienced instructors who are current high school and college teachers who have also been successful debaters. In order to preserve the educational process, small lab groups are normally composed of one or two senior faculty supplemented by active nationally-competitive college debaters. The ENDI experience is characterized by exposure to all faculty. Third, we provide instruction in the fundamental skills of debate. The advantage of debate for any student is that it teaches or enhances academic skills that are fundamental in all endeavors: critical thinking, research, presentation, and public speaking. Students learn argumentation theory and construction in classrooms and apply them in a laboratory setting. The faculty supervises research where students are provided access to materials from the Emory University Libraries. By emphasizing fundamental debate skills, students can apply what they learn in any academic or competitive environment.
