The Council does not have any political affiliations and is committed to creating an environment conducive to the discussion of international issues within an academic setting. We are currently coordinating efforts to bring an officially sanctioned medical first-response squad to the Dartmouth campus. The Dartmouth Forensic Union carries a full program of competitive intercollegiate debate extending over a season which begins during the first week of October and lasts until the National Debate Championship Tournament in late April. During the past 30 seasons, Dartmouth has won numerous individual and team awards, including four national championships. A minimum of 15 hours practice per week is assumed, plus two to six weekends per term away from campus.
Individuals have some control over dates and extent of travel.
