Dear Colleagues,

The SVUDL Ryan Mills Memorial Invitational. March 29-30
All proceeds from this tournament will go to theSilicon Valley Urban Debate League, a local non-profit organization whose mission is to empower Silicon Valley students, regardless of their race or socioeconomic status, to reach their full potential to become professional and community leaders by teaching critical thinking and communication skills through speech and debate programming.
Ryan Mills was a volunteer with the Silicon Valley Urban Debate League (SVUDL) since its inception more than 10 years ago, through and until his untimely passing in March of 2021. Ryan was the consummate professional and a model volunteer, judging hundreds of rounds of competition for SVUDL over the years. He was one of the most sought after judges by our students, for not only his expansive debate knowledge, but also for the care in which he gave constructive feedback and shared resources, all with the idea of helping them grow as competitors and young adults. He was also an advocate for SVUDL in the wider community, building bridges that let our students access deeper coaching and opportunities to aid in their professional growth as well.
This tournament will be held online via NSDA Campus for all events.
