Almost 300 high school students from Texas and 25 other states spent part of their summer vacation at UNT, attending one of the nation's largest residential summer camps for high school debaters.

UNT's Mean Green Workshops, sponsored by the Department of Communication Studies, help high school debate students prepare for the policy debate tournaments organized each year by the National Forensic League and state and local organizations.

The workshops also offer sessions on Lincoln-Douglas debate and, for the first time this year, included a session on public forum debate. UNT and Harvard University were the only two universities in the nation offering a summer program in public forum debate this year.
