Seth Drayer is the Director of Training for Created Equal, a pro-life education and outreach organization based in Columbus, Ohio. Seth equips the next generation of preborn defenders by arming them with the scientific/philosophic case for the humanity of the preborn, providing conversational skills, and inspiring them to create dialogue in their own schools and hometowns.
In addition to training students and leading outreach efforts on high school and college campuses across the country, Seth equips church adult and youth groups to actively love their preborn neighbors. He has provided training to national pro-life organizations such as Students for Life of America, Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, Teachers Saving Children and serves as faculty at the Friends for Life annual pro-life apologetics retreat alongside Scott Klusendorf, President of Life Training Institute. Seth is originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Indiana University in French Teaching. Seth taught English in Bretagne, France before returning to Indiana to work as Youth Minister for Trinity Evangelical Church in Fort Wayne. He also served as a member of the Board of Directors for Allen County Right to Life of Indiana and AFH Ministries. In 2010, he entered full-time pro-life ministry. Seth resides in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife Aubrie. Seth and Aubrie have one daughter. They are excited to mentor a generation of Christian students boldly defending the most vulnerable of our society.

Professor Webb has been an instructor at Purdue for the past 44 years. He was included in the inaugural edition of the "Book of Great Teachers" at Purdue, and is a fellow in the Purdue University Teaching Academy. He has taught abroad in London, Oxford, Italy, Australia, and on the Purdue European Grand Tour through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France. His courses, many of which he designed himself, focus on interpersonal, cultural and gender-related communication. In 2009, Professor Webb was one of four professors at Purdue University to receive the Charles B. Murphy Award for outstanding undergraduate teaching.
Professor Webb particularly enjoys studying the communication between and among sexes and genders and countries and cultures because he says it is exciting, challenging, and relevant. His main priority is creating a class environment where his students can feel comfortable learning and growing. Not only has professor Webb received several awards from Purdue University, but his students speak very highly of him and the way he conducts his classes. Having extensive debate experience including his role as a debate coach, we welcome Professor Webb to present the negative case in this debate. |
