URDU Travels to 2015 Yale IV Tournament
October 5, 2015
The University of Rochester Debate Union attended the 2015 Yale IV this past weekend. Although no teams advanced to elimination rounds at this exceedingly difficult tournament, all teams received at least one 1st or 2nd place ranking during their 6 preliminary debates, and most achieved that multiple times.
