We are committed to an interdisciplinary approach to debate that promotes critical thinking.  The DFU serves Dartmouth’s mission of supporting the vigorous and open debate of ideas within a community marked by mutual respect in co-curricular activity.

Our team philosophy emphasizes:

1. Listening and researching arguments of all types with respect.
2. A team environment that challenges students intellectually while supporting their growth.
3. Trusting one another in our collective efforts to develop as members of the Dartmouth community, debate community, and beyond.
