Wake Workshops --  wakedebate.org 
As final institute decision-making times begin to approach, I want to  remind 
everyone of some opportunities at Wake Forest. 
Sophomore  Project.  This is a new program  at Wake  Forest that runs  
con-currently with the Policy Project (July 3-30).  The goal of the Sophomore 
Project is to  provide rising sophomores with an opportunity to learn the essential 
things that  will make them competitive throughout their sophomore year:  
Affirmative and negative argument  construction, extension of generic positions 
and topicality, and basic topic  knowledge.  An extensive focus of the 
curriculum will  be on developing the debating skills of the students.   It runs 
con-currently with the Policy  Project in order that we may take advantage of that 
curriculum where  appropriate.  We aim to have  approximately 32 students and 
24 have already been accepted.  We will take at least 8 more, but no  more than 
16 more, students.  If  your students are interested, please have them 
register at wakedebate.org.  The program is directed by Stefan  Bauschard (St. Mark’
s/Harvard), Jim Lyle (Clarion), Dr. Tim O’Donnell  (University of  Mary 
Washington), and Ed  Williams (Woodward).  The cost is  $3200. 
Policy Project. We  aim to simply have the best overall group of debaters of 
any age and provide  appropriate experiences for each of the ability levels.  
A select group of no more than  sixty-four students works closely with eight 
professional coaches. Everyone can  get to know one another, students and 
instructors alike. The size allows  assignments to be carefully coordinated, 
producing the best balance of breadth,  depth, and quality of research, all of which 
is shared equally. The library is  not overrun, administration is not 
complicated, faculty work closely with one  another, and the entire workshop operates 
as a team. Acceptance to the Policy  Project is competitive (July 3-30, 
$3200) 
Fast-Track.  The Fast-Track is a six-week program for  a select, limited 
group of Policy Project participants, led by Ross Smith,  Wake  Forest's debate 
coach and  Jenny Heidt, Director of Debate, The Westminster School.  In addition 
to Ross and Jenny, students  will have the opportunity to work with Bill 
Shanahan and Stefan Bauschard.  13 of the 16 slots are taken, so if you  are 
interested please apply soon.  (June 19-July 30, $3950).  After the first two weeks 
of the Fast-Track, students are placed in an  appropriate Policy Project lab. 
Three Week Workshop.  Team-taught laboratories, divided by experience level,  
allow each student to receive intensive individualized instruction as 
students  are taught each phase of the debate process. Each lab of no more than 
sixteen  students is led by two of the listed faculty members and is assisted by 
one  debater. Laboratory-wide cases are not imposed, yet the students are taught 
to  cooperate and function as true team members in the laboratory setting. 
There  will be no lab fees. All labs will receive all of the evidence produced 
in the  entire workshop and cooperation across labs in preparing cases and 
negative  positions will be facilitated.June 19-July 8, $1675.
