Dear Alum, 

Don't miss our new alumni web page, the latest Rostrum release, and a chance to make your speech and debate coach smile in this first NSDA Alumni Newsletter of the year! 

Rostrum Release

The latest issue of Rostrum features an interview with NSDA alumna Yvanna Cancela, the first Latina state senator in Nevada. Don't miss the story of how she turned Nevada blue on election night, and how she went from a policy debater to a policy maker. Read the feature, and the rest of the issue, here

Watch Final Round Performances

Once a member, always a member! For Member Appreciation Week, we released five final round performances from #Nats17. Thousands of people have watched these students share their voices and we invite you to tune in and join them on our YouTube page

New Alumni Page

We recently launched a new page at www.speechanddebate.org/alumni featuring notable speech and debate alumni. Did you know Sonia Sotomayor was a member? What about Stephen Colbert? We've included some big names, but we'd love your help filling in our list! If you know someone who should be featured, please email us.
