Welcome to Bowdoin Debate!

Whether it's your first time debating or your 100th, we welcome all. Bowdoin Debate exists to develop sharper thinkers, stronger communicators, and more engaged citizens. We compete on the American Parliamentary Debate Association circuit, traveling to tournaments across the region twice each semester. We train together twice a week, and build the kind of intellectual community that Bowdoin was made for. The only requirement? Show up ready to think.

If you have any questions, please contact lribadeneria@bowdoin.edu or abridges@bowdoin.edu.
