Wade started her career as the top high school debate and speech student in the U.S. as designated by the National Forensics League competition points system in 1968, and graduated from Emory as one of the nation’s top intercollegiate debaters.  She is one of the leading debate coaches in the U.S., having coached Emory’s Barkley Forum to more than thirty national intercollegiate debate titles.  She has authored, co-authored, or edited over 150 publications related to debate issues, strategies, and pedagogy.  She has received national recognition from Georgetown University (National Coach of the Year Award), the University of South Carolina (Thomas Glenn Pelham National Coach of the Year Award), University of North Carolina (Outstanding Critic Award), Florida State University (Greg Phifer National Service Award), Wake Forest University and University of Missouri-Kansas City (Ovid Davis Award; for coaching the NDT national champions), University of Utah (Lucy Keele National Service Award), University of California, Fullerton (National CEDA Critic Award), San Diego State University (the Brownlee Award for Scholarship, Service, and Leadership), American Forensics Association (Distinguished Career Award) and the National Debate Coaches Association Award for Outstanding Scholarship and Service to Forensics Education.  She received Emory’s highest faculty honor, the Thomas Jefferson Award, in 2007.

Wade’s most recent projects include working with the development of college and secondary school competitive, educational, and community outreach debate programs in South Korea, Malaysia, and China.  She has directed debate institutes in Seoul at Ewha University and Kyung Hee University, lectured and made presentations at the Korean Development Institute’s Graduate School in Public Policy and Management, and is developing exchange programs between Korean, U.S., and UDL debate students.
