March Debate Madness Tournament

Winners of 2023 March Debate Madness Tournament


Congratulations to Nicole Ela (1st), Colton Marshchik (2nd), and Dyson Adsit (3rd)--winners of the Second Annual March Debate Madness Tournament, sponsored by the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program at the University of Colorado Boulder - Leeds School of Business!

We also celebrate Britt M. Wirth, who tied for an honorary 3rd place finish after missing the final round due to personal circumstances.

In a field that began with 54 debaters, these four fought their way through a talented field of competitors in single-elimination debate to emerge victorious. All debates followed a 15 minute Lincoln-Douglas format, with topics focused on principles-based ethical decision-making in the workplace.
