The purpose of the GSC Debate Club is to provide GSC students with the opportunity to participate in both on-campus audience debates, and, when feasible, intercollegiate debate and public speaking competitions.  The benefits of these activities include improved marks in school, improved research skills, improved communication skills, and improved critical thinking skills.  The mission of this club is to serve as many GSC students as possible through exposure to a diversity of debate, public speaking, and performance opportunities, both as observers and as participants.
