The Jayhawk Debate Institute at the University of Kansas is a premier high school debate camp providing first class instruction at an exceptional value. The JDI offers students of all levels of debate experience the opportunity to further their development through a low student-to-staff ratio and interaction with exceptional faculty. Over the history of the JDI, students attending the camp have garnered strong competitive records at national and regional competitions.
The Jayhawk Debate Institute will occur this year on the following dates:
- Three-week extended policy debate: June 22-July 12, 2008
- Two-week policy debate : June 22- July 4, 2008

-
Proven Record: Over the past several years, students attending the Jayhawk Debate Institute have returned strong competitive records in national and regional competitions.

Great Residence Halls: All students stay in air-conditioned rooms. The dormitory housing staff provides 24-hour security in all residence halls, with staffed entries and roving security patrols. Meals are served in the dining commons, which provides a variety of service options, including pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and an extensive salad bar.
This year the
institute will be held in its entirety in Ellsworth Hall. This is the most
newly renovated dorm on campus, and will provide a comfortable location for
