Kansas Wesleyan has announced that it will honor former debate and forensics coach Gary Harmon by establishing a scholarship competition in his honor.

Harmon retired earlier this month following a distinguished career leading KWU debate and forensics, and this competition will focus on students entering that discipline.

“Gary Harmon established a fantastic legacy at Kansas Wesleyan,” said Ken Oliver, KWU vice president of advancement, admissions and marketing. “He had numerous All-Americans and national champions on his resume and built a top-notch program. We are thankful for everything that he did for KWU, and are glad to have the opportunity to honor him with this scholarship competition.”

A date for the first Gary Harmon Scholarship Competition will be announced on KWU.edu when finalized. Multiple awards will be presented, with the top recipient receiving 75 percent off tuition.
