They learn logic, critical thinking, case devel-

opment, refutation skills, advanced crossfire

Great Campuses with Superior Amenities

Capitol's 2013 Public Forum Institute

will bring together an exciting group of

accomplished coaches from around the

country to work with students ranging from

first year students to championship level stu-

dents. The institute's curriculum will focus on

several major objectives. First, all labs will be

led by experienced head coaches, with recent-

ly graduated debaters assisting at the direction

of the coach in daily activities. Students will

spend large portions of each day working with

these head coaches in drills and practice de-

bates to diagnose weaknesses and develop an

individual plan to improve. Lectures will teach

to the unique challenges of Public Forum as an

event where debaters must persuade a diverse

judging pool, ranging from grandparents to

first-year-outs. With a staff that has been

zealous advocates in shaping the future of

Public Forum, students will also be encour-

aged to consider trends in the event and

how their approach to debate might need

to change in the coming years to remain

successful. Finally, with our proximity to

leading public policy research institutions in

Washington, DC, debaters will enjoy numer-

ous guest appearances by experts on a variety

of potential future topic areas and have

several visits to the nation's capitol.
