A Few UTNIF Announcements

Tell your friends to pull themselves together and send in their applications. Don't find yourself in the midst of some giant monstrosity of a lab at another workshop. Join us in Austin for some hard work and good fun. A few things to keep in mind and pass on to your friends and teammates:

1. Remember that the initial registration deadline is May 1. After May 1 applications will still be accepted but there is a late registration fee added to the tuition price of $100.

2. There are still a few spaces left in the Sophomore Select lab taught by Nick Fiori and Brian McBride (and assisted by Flynn Makuch.) Please contact J.V. Reed (jv.reed@mail.utexas.edu) to inquire about applying. One of Fiori's teams from Damien just won the NDCA National Tournament, so if you think you could benefit from the instruction of a champion coach, you might want to take this opportunity.

3. Consider the 6 Week Summer Survivors. At $5200 it is one of the best deals around for a time-expansive summer camp experience. Ricky Garner, former CEDA National Champion and current coach for Harvard debate, is a hard working instructor who will work the lab hard as well. If you want a close-knit, intensive summer experience in a lab that will dig deep and cut a copious amount of high quality cards, this lab is for you. Led with 6 week survivor alum and former NAUDL and NFL champion Misael Gonzalez, the Survivors is not to be missed.

4. The Session 1 Topic Intensive lab will be taught by the University of Oklahoma's Blake Johnson and Claire McKinney of the Kinkaid school. A solid pairing that will be capable of leading students to both policy and kritikal successes.

5. The Session 2 Topic Intensive lab will be taught by Blake Johnson and former Georgetown University debater Max Hantel. Again, a pairing well-schooled in both policy and kritikal styles of debating.
