What began as a student-led debate team at USF St. Pete is now helping thousands of students find their voice. 💚

USF St. Pete alumnus David Trigaux ('12) is the founder of the
Washington Urban Debate League - WUDL, which has expanded access to competitive debate for students in the greater Washington D.C. Area.

While at USF St. Pete, Trigaux helped create a student debate team from scratch, laying the groundwork for what would later become WUDL.

Today, the organization serves thousands of elementary, middle and high school students through 80 programs in D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
