Miami Dade College’s Debate Team is headed to Portland, Oregon for Pi Kappa Delta’s national convention and debate tournament from March 23-26.
The two members that will be competing are Anthony Spallone and Paul Jimenez.
Spallone and Jimenez are no strangers to debate. They teamed up to beat Britain’s national team this past November.
Both will be competing in Parliamentary Debate and Extemporaneous Speaking events.
John William Todd, professor of speech and director of debate at Kendall Campus, is leading the team.
“I expect they’ll be very competitive even though we haven’t been competing in the national circuit,” said Todd. “They are both excellent speakers.”
