UTSA Debate Team

The UTSA Debate Team is an official university team activity housed in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts and the Communication Department. The debate program is directed and coached by Skip Eno. UTSA has fielded an active forensics team since 1980. UTSA students have competed as members of the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) since 1982. Currently our debaters participate in both CEDA and NDT competitions.

The UTSA Debate program is committed to providing equal opportunities for all people interested in debate, regardless of experience, age, race, gender, sexual preference, ethnic traits or class characteristics. We welcome all, and we believe the critical thinking, research, and communication skills inherent in the debate experience are liberating and supportive of an open society.

UTSA Debate Team Summer Workshop 2012

UTSA Debate runs a workshop in August before school starts, Aug. 14-24th. The workshop is for UTSA students who are currently on the team, incoming UTSA students who plan to debate, and UTSA students interested in finding out if debate is their “cup of tea”. Debate basics for novices, technical instructions for junior varsity-level debaters and advance theory, research and strategy for varsity debaters are covered. This provides a good opportunity for debaters to get a jump on the topic (energy) and preparation for the start of the season (1st trip is 9/15). Contact Skip Eno (roy.eno@utsa.edu) or Jeff Roberts (jeffrobertsdebate@gmail.com ) or Chris Crowe (velcrowe@gmail.com ) for more information.
