Iris recently shared, “As a parent of high schoolers whose teachers integrate debate in their classes, I'm a big believer that Speech and Debate programs can teach critical thinking, improve confidence, and sharpen listening skills. So I couldn’t be more excited to be part of the SVUDL community and to support the important work of this organization and its life-changing impact on young people’s lives.”
