FULLERTON
The Cal State Fullerton debate team, which for the last three years has worked with poverty-stricken high school students around Orange County, recently teamed up with the George Soros Foundation to increase student communication skills across the county.
The new partnership will allow the university to more than double its Daniel Webster Project, which currently reaches out to about 30 students across three county high schools.
This year marks the first with the Soros Foundation, an organization that donates about $2 million each year to programs that increase debate awareness around the country.
