The American University Debate Society is the premier debating team at American, and is ranked eighth in the nation. Over the past three years, AUDS has excelled in developing first-year debaters, placing more so-called “novices” in the top 15 nationally than any schools other than Yale and Harvard. The growth of the Debate Society has produced top contenders for the past three years; American’s "A" Team finished 16th in 2010, finished 6th in 2011, and 3rd in 2012. AU’s individuals have also excelled, with six finishing the top 20 since 2010.
The Debate Society is open to all students at American University, both graduate and undergraduate. For more information, please contact debate@audebate.org or visit http://audebate.org/.
