TSTDC All Students

Hi everyone-

Thank you for your patience as I have worked to review/refine our processes for officer applications and to further clarify the roles and responsibilities of the different executive positions for next year. Things may look a little different as we are trying some new things given existing time constraints and general end of the year craziness. 

Regardless of the process we use, the goal remains the same: to identify and select student leaders who are ready and willing to work together to continue building upon TSTDC’s tradition of excellence. As you consider whether this could be you, keep in mind that the skills required to be a good leader are unique and not necessarily the same ones needed to be a strong/successful competitor. We are looking for leaders who will make a positive impact on our team, get things done effectively, and lead by example.

Sounds good, how…

We need student volunteers to promote our Graduation Gram fundraiser during both lunches next week (5/11-5/15). Students do not need to process orders, just join our table with samples of the Graduation Grams and the QR code for students to scan and place orders.

If you are looking to be a student leader next year, this is a great way to demonstrate your willingness to support the team.

Use the link to sign up for whichever days you are willing to help.

Good luck to @abaas.zaffar @Kavin Saravanan @Suhaib Abdi and @Neha Nair who are competing at Last Chance this weekend!

All tournament details and answers to most questions can be found on the tournament website. Here are some additional details sent to me by the tournament in preparation for this weekend:

Media Release/Student Waiver: prior to Thursday, please download a copy of this entry release form waiver and get it signed. You can leave the signed copy in the right side desk drawer in 279. 

SRA: I submitted the SRA request for debaters to be released after 5th period on Thursday and Friday and Speech to be released after 5th on Friday. This should give you enough time to get home, get set up, and run a final test of your technology and internet prior to rounds dropping at 3PM.

Test Your Technology: Please make sure your technology and internet is compatible with NSDA Campus…

If you are coming to banquet (which hopefully is everyone!!) you MUST RSVP
