Goucher Debate

Goucher Debate is a group for passionate students interested in discussing and learning about current politics and happenings in the United States and the World. The point of debate is to provide legitimate and persuasive arguments for and against a point, topic, or resolution, so that one can be more informed and objectively come to one's on conclusion on a certain matter. Goucher Debate serves as a guiding hand to improve fast thinking, speaking, and research quality, and, of course, to always promote active, respectful discussion, confidence and close friendships. The team competes against students from other schools in two styles: Congressional and Parlimentary. We attend intercollegiate debate tournaments in schools as close as Johns Hopkins and currently as far the University of Chicago. Attending outside tournaments is encouraged, but never required.
