William & Mary Patrick Henry Debate Society

The William and Mary Debate Team competes in the parliamentary style of debate in the American Parliamentary Debate Association (APDA).  Team members gain improved speaking and argumentative skills, knowledge on a wide breadth of subjects, and the opportunity to travel to and compete against schools up and down the East Coast. For more information on parliamentary debate or APDA, check out the APDA website at www.apdaweb.opg. 

If you are interested in joining the team, we will hold two informational sessions on Thursday August 25th and Sunday August 28th, and will hold our tryouts on Tuesday August 30th.  If you have any questions regarding the William and Mary Debate Team, please email us at debateteam.wm@gmail.com.
