Miriam '24 has officially been announced as one of the twelve individuals selected for the national debate team. This is a significant achievement that recognizes her hard work and dedication. Over the next two years, she will be actively engaged in debate tournaments and practices alongside her team members. While it remains to be seen whether she will ultimately make the final team of five that attends the World Championships, Miriam's selection is a testament to her exceptional skills, particularly in a highly competitive field.
