Events

All of our events can be found on our GryphLife page, where you will be able to RSVP your spot for the event (we recommend everyone to RSVP each event they plan on attending).

  • Socials – These are casual events hosted by the Debate Club for all Gryphons (whether you’re in the club or not). These socials will include fun games and interesting discussions as an overarching theme. We encourage everybody to show up, bring a friend, and participate!
  • Seminars – These are weekly meetings to teach members about the world of debate and its applications to the real world. This will help club members prepare for internal debate competitions and tournaments, but will also help to solidify debate as a practice that applies to day-to-day life. We will usually have guest speakers at our seminars as well, including U of G professors and talented debaters.
    • There are no restrictions on who can attend these socials or seminars! Simply RSVP for the event and you should be good to attend.
  • Debate Practices – These are practices held virtually on our Discord server where anyone can hop in and practice their debate skills! 
  • Tournaments – The U of G Debate Club plans on enlisting in official debate tournaments hosted by other schools and debate organizations. The tournaments we plan on attending can be found on the calendar including where the competition is held or whether it’s in-person or virtual. However, these dates are the most subject to change depending on our resources for travelling and the overall interest of the team.
    • Tournaments are restricted to Team Members only. For more information on how to qualify and participate, check out our Register page under the Team Members drop-down.

The University of Guelph Debate Club acknowledges that much of our work takes place within the Between the Lakes Purchase (Treaty 3); the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. It is recognized that the Anishinnabe and Hodinöhsö:ni’ peoples have unique, long-standing and on-going relationships with the land and each other and that the Attawandaron people are part of the archaeological record.
