Debate Team
 The
Wheaton College Parliamentary Debate team builds off a long
history of successful
debate at Wheaton College. Although
the parliamentary debate program started in the Fall of 2003,
Wheaton has a long history of successful debate. In the
recent past, Wheaton sent a team to the National Parliamentary
Tournament of Excellence (NPTE) a very prestigious tournament
to which teams have to qualify. One Wheaton team was
ranked 51st in the nation out of 955 teams; that same team
advanced to elimination rounds at the National Parliamentary
Debate Assocation (NPDA) tournament. This
years team boasts 30 members and will compete from September
to March.
The Parliamentary Debate team exists to promote the development
of persuasive, articulate, and critically thinking Christians
who can use their skills in many different walks of life after
debate is over.
