Maria Deguzman of Makakilo and other members of the UH Manoa Debate and Forensics Society have returned home from an impressive showing at the Yale Inter-Varsity debate tournament, held Oct. 22-24 in Connecticut.
Though the undergrad debate team has only been in existance for two years, the Hawaii team defeated teams from Stanford, Cornell, UCLA, Columbia, Dartmouth, MIT, NYU, St. John’s, Boston University, West Point and Fordham in the nation’s largest and most-prestigious debate competition.
Deguzman competed on the B Team with Kyle Dahlin (Kailua). Together they averaged two speaker points behind A Team the top team in the competition.
The team is directed by speech department assistant professor Robert Boller.
