20080708_Augustana_brandmark_288printThis year’s Midwest Great Debate brought a select group of students from six different states to Augustana College for the six-day event, July 7-12.

“The Midwest Great Debate was the best and biggest to date,” said program co-Education Director Karla Martinez. “Students enjoyed having the opportunity to engage in a national conversation regarding the Latino community with peers from California and Texas. The dynamic of these three groups could not have been better.”
