Princeton Debate Panel

The Princeton Debate Panel, Princeton’s only competitive intercollegiate debate team, is very excited to welcome its newest batch of debaters for the Spring.
THE PERKS:
1. public speaking and argument construction practice,
2. a tight-knit community, and
3. free travel around the country (from California to Boston to Washington, D.C.) and the world (from the United Kingdom to Panama to Bulgaria)!

No previous debating experience is necessary. What this means is that if you’re interested, you should give yourself the chance to try out.
So…
SIGN UP AND TRY OUT:
Try out any day Friday, January 30 through Sunday, February 1 from 3pm to 6pm in Whig Basement, indicating what time we should expect you and complete an application prior to that time. Both links are in the bio!
ATTEND OUR OPEN HOUSE/WORKSHOP (9 PM THURS, 1/29) & WATCH OUR DEMO DEBATE (5 PM WED, 1/28)! Both will last around an hour.

QUESTIONS?
Email us with any questions!
With enthusiasm and encouragement,
PDP BOARD

Finally we have Wee-Ern! It's always smooth sailing when you're hanging out with Wee-Ern--his easygoing and laidback personality always ensures a relaxing and happy time! Much love to PDP's current BP tour director!! ⛵⛵

Next is Janul! A great debater, and an even greater friend who's always supportive and encouraging. He's energetic and happy even after a long day, and after the moon's out! Much love to PDP's current classics TD and one of our equity officers 🌙🌙!
