KU debaters have gone on to success after college as well. KU Debate alumni include lawyers, legislators, former state and federal attorney generals, prosecutors, and Justice Department officals, financiers, teachers, professors, artists, doctors, and civic leaders. Most years the entire squad travels to The University of Northern Iowa season opener. Then the team divides forces and travels regional and national circuits for the widest experience and best competition possible. In the past few years, KU debate has criss-crossed the nation, from California to New York, from Texas to Illinois.
Debaters drive in university vans or fly to their destinations all at the team's expense.
Facilities KU debaters have access to their own working space in KU's Wescoe Hall. Dell Dimension T450's, a laser printer, a photocopier, and all of the equipment necessary to produce quality briefs. KU Debate also has plans to move to a new facility in Bailey Hall during Fall 2000 which will provide the team with more room, and office space. If you are thinking about attending KU, you'll want to make the necessary arrangements to visit campus, talk to admissions, meet with the coaching staff, and visit academic departments. We can help you to make those arrangements.
