Colas+Diallo,+Carine

//Award-winning Author // I earned a master’s in international relations and diplomacy from Schiller International University, Paris, France and a bachelor’s in political science from the University of Rochester. I’ve held high-level managerial positions with international organizations overseeing food security, child protection, health, and education programs in Africa and Haiti. I have put my career on hold to devote my time to raising my two children, and will soon publish the second children’s book from my Africa series. I am a parent judge, and this is my first year judging high school debates. I view debating as an important and essential tool for self-improvement and expression. **__Philosophy for debates: __** I will evaluate how well the debater has researched the topic, and organized and presented contentions in a clear and succinct manner. Please be mindful of the following:
 * Carine Colas-Diallo **
 * Adequate research is key to presenting an effective argument. Please conduct thorough research prior to the tournament.
 * Stay on topic and do not introduce unrelated material which will negatively impact the delivery of contentions.
 * Keep time. It pains me when a debater goes beyond the allotted time for each activity.
 * Don’t spread, and please deliver articulate and concise arguments.
 * Please remain professional and respectful of counter positions. I abhor pettiness and detest demeaning personal attacks.
