UAA '24 Ali Kaan’s Inspiring Journey to Dartmouth: From UAA to Ivy League

"Debating gave me a new sense of confidence and courage which allowed me to redraw my life’s trajectory and pursue my true passions. I’m grateful to be part of the UAA Debate community, whose members turn even my busiest weeks into something to look forward to."

Ajin - UAA '26

"Being part of our club has shown me that debate is more than just winning discussions. In just 15 minutes, I’ve learned to craft multiple (more than 5) arguments on complex issues, pushing me to think critically and creatively. It’s made me more informed about the world, from economics to social justice and international affairs."

Aras - UAA '29

"Debate was much more than a competitive game for me. Over my five years of high school, the debate club greatly contributed to my intellectual growth and allowed me to form diverse and meaningful friendships—both within the club and the wider high school debate community—beyond anything I could have imagined."

Ali Kaan - UAA '24 & Dartmouth '28
