The OSU Debate Club is a group of individuals who are passionate about debating on various issues and topics and participating in various debate competitions at schools across the US. Our passion for debate stems from our belief in having open discussions on various topics with respect, integrity, and in a way that is constructive. We plan to take part in various debate competitions hosted by schools across America. To do this we will need funds for travel, stay, and participation. We host workshops on debating to work on our debating skills which would greatly help us in winning inter-school debate competitions that we plan on participating in. We also host debates among professionals who have knowledge related to the topic of debate in order to foster a culture of constructive expression of thought.
The club usually incurs costs on debate club sessions which include debate workshops and food; hosting debates in school, and having experts of certain fields talk to us on topics related to their area of expertise. We are also planning on improvising our open lawn debates by purchasing a Bluetooth speaker set which will allow us to reach out to a bigger audience.
We would like to ensure our donors that we are not interested in pushing a certain ideology or any political agenda. We are strictly a professional club focused on debate and fostering a culture of applying critical thinking to real-world issues and problems.
