Lawrence Debate Union Uvm

The Lawrence Debate Union (LDU) provides students at the UVM an opportunity to enhance their communication and argument skills through the practice of intercollegiate debate. Debate is widely recognized as an activity that significantly improves students' communication, research, analytical, and critical thinking skills. It is therefore an activity that can sharpen students' academic performance and success in any major or area of study. Debate is an especially important skill in our contemporary society, as it improves your ability to communicate across difference in an increasingly globalized world. And, debate is fun!
