The Minnesota Urban Debate League (MNUDL) is a program of Augsburg University which provides resources and programming to support competitive academic debate in Twin Cities high schools and middle schools. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we've continued providing programming safely and 100% online. The mission of MNUDL is to empower students through competitive academic debate to become engaged learners, critical thinkers, and active global citizens who are effective advocates for themselves and their communities. Currently, MNUDL currently serves more than 1,200 students at nearly 40 partner schools and has seen sustained growth in student participation since its inception in 2004.
