College Preview Program

To the College Debate Community:

You are cordially invited to attend the College Debate Preview at the Heart of Texas Invitational. The preview offers representatives from college debate programs the opportunity to talk with high school students about debating in college. The preview will be held during the Heart of Texas Invitational Debate Tournament in Dallas, Texas during the weekend of October 25-27, 2024. We anticipate hosting many of the top debaters in the country.In previous years we have had college representatives from programs all over the United States in attendance. It would be our honor to host representatives from your school this year.

Colleges attending the preview are offered advertising (no charge) in the online tournament program. The ad pages should be sent to me so that they arrive no later than October 18th. Traditionally, ad pages have included a one-page letter from the director and one page of information about the school. You may format your two pages in any way that you think would be helpful to your recruiting efforts. We will open a room between rounds five and six on Saturday afternoon to create a place for students to meet with representatives. We also encourage you to watch rounds, talk with students, visit with friends, feed yourself in the coaches’ lounge, and visit our campus and our city. Please let us know if you are willing to enhance our judging pool by adjudicating a round or two -- it would be sincerely appreciated.

If you are planning to attend please email the assistant tournament director, Jason Peterson, at jasonmpe@gmail.com.
