Travel Schedule 

Through the debate team’s rigorous travel schedule, students have a chance to make close ties with members of the debate community. Class absences due to travel are granted as excused absences by the University. The schedule will fluctuate slightly each year. Debaters attend between one and six tournaments each semester.
