Debate Team

Who Are We?

The Ferris State Parliamentary Debate and Forensics Team travels all over the United States, competing against students from other colleges and universities.

Benefits to competing include free travel, becoming educated about world affairs, making life-long friends, and scholarship money.

What do we debate about?

We often get into discussions regarding current "hot" issues—anything from foreign affairs to morality and ethics.
