​Presidential Scholar nominees were announced this week by the Department of Education. BAUDL is proud to say that we have two nominees: Kweko Power and Sekayi Bardell.

​Special thanks to the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues. Without your support, our students couldn't have applied. This is an honor. How serendipitous that two Black women from Oakland earned a Presidential Award nomination just days after a Black woman from Oakland announced she'd be running for President. While BAUDL does not endorse candidates, we certainly recognize the significance of this upcoming election.
​
Three cheers for women out here #makingmoves!
