"Just being a part of this amazing program (Academic Decathlon) has been an incredible experience for me.  Participating has brought me closer to so many people that I probably never would have met before.  a teammate of mine from last year that I barely knew before has become one of my best friends.  The team really creates a close bond that is hard to find anywhere else."

"The thrill of competition drives many of the...less 'athletically inclined' to participate, but my personal initiative lies in the friendships I have watched blossom through this excellent program (Academic Decathlon)."
