BUDL uses the art of debate to change lives. BUDL brings learning to life by making it relevant, real, and fun. In competitive debate and in the debate classroom, students do more than just memorize and spit back facts.

Students in BUDL develop a thirst for knowledge and become inspired to seek and utilize new information.
