The debate team here at Missouri Valley College is relatively new, but that hasn’t stopped it from gaining national success. In the 2018-2019 season Missouri Valley College debaters took home the National Grand Prix Novice Championship. The debaters look to continue their success in the 2019-2020 by qualifying to the National Forensics Associations National Tournament hosted in Whitewater, Wisconsin.
The current topic is: The United States federal government should implement an energy policy that substantially increases investment in one or more of the following energy sectors: nuclear, hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, solar.
We’re also looking to expand into Forensics! Forensics offers many more opportunities for students to participate in events like persuasive speaking, extemporaneous speaking and dramatic interpretation.
If you’re interested in joining the debate team please do not hesitate to contact David Bowers (bowersd@moval.edu) or stop by his office (Ferguson 223).
