Speech and Debate
The Lewis & Clark speech & debate squad is one of the most successful full-service programs in the United States, as its competitors have excelled in both debate and individual events.
The L&C team has been around nearly since the founding of the college, and it is one of the most active and well-supported intercollegiate activities at Lewis & Clark, with individualized coaching and a supportive team culture. Please use the links on the navigation bar to learn more about our history, our team’s current activities, and how you can get involved!
If you are an incoming student who would like to express interest in the team (and potentially apply for a scholarship!) please go to the “Get More Information!” link on the navigation bar.
