Hey. I’m Niko! I’m an upcoming senior at Parkrose High School and the founder of Pathway to Debate Institute. I understand what it’s like coming from a UDL school with little to no resources, but still wanting to compete at a competitive level. My hope is to help students of all backgrounds get access to the educational benefits of policy debate. My favorite part of debate is the research involved in preparation and learning new things about the world. I’m super excited to get to know you all more!

Welcome to PDI! My name is Tom, and I’m a rising senior at Parkrose High School in the Portland, OR area. I’ve been competing in policy debate for a couple years and have gone for all types of different arguments, but this year I have gotten into more critical strategies. My favorite part of debate is meeting new friends and learning about complex concepts. I’m excited to try something new this year and help out with this camp!
