The West Virginia University Debate Team is one of the most accomplished organizations on campus. The goals of the team not only include learning the skills of intercollegiate debate, but taking those skills along with the knowledge gained from the activity and applying it to everyday life. The team is sponsored by the WVU’s top-ranked Political Science department, but includes members from a wide variety of majors. The rapidly growing team travels to many different colleges and universities during its season competing against some of the most highly ranked debate teams in the nation.
