OUR STORY
For FIVE consecutive years, the students of the Harvard Debate Council Diversity Project have attended Harvard Debate Council's international residency and won the competition.
In the 11 months leading up to the Harvard summer debate residency, students attend Saturday school in Atlanta where they study under the tutelage of Brandon P. Fleming, Harvard University’s assistant debate coach. Fleming, an acclaimed author & Harvard educator, leveraged his Harvard debate faculty position to create the Atlanta-based pipeline for the intended purpose of increasing minority representation at the Harvard debate residency.
The program has gained the financial backing of major corporations such as Chick-fil-A Foundation, The Coca-Cola Company, Kaiser Permanente, UPS, Publix Super Markets, and the Atlanta Hawks, and Warner Media who fund scholarships for the Atlanta students to study at Harvard each summer.
