At the Lee College Mendoza Debates, Jocelyn Vega and Caroline Moore won octofinalist awards!

At the LSU Shreveport Red River Classic, Mary Lyle was a quarter finalist and Caroline Moore was an octofinalist.

At the Cameron University Cameron Classic, Jocelyn Vega won second in prose interpretation, while Evan Thomas tied 3rd place for novice speaker.

We are so excited to face 2024 with our positive team spirit and desire to learn more after every practice!

Come check out UCA Debate & Forensics! Our club provides a way to connect with peers, develop critical thinking skills, and learn public speaking. Join us at Thompson Hall on Mondays at 5pm! Our last meeting of the semester will be December 4th.
