Our purpose...
Forensics dedicates itself to the betterment of its members’ public speaking, analytical, logic, and debate skills. Great for those interested in politics, communications, and law, the Forensics club will focus on the art of the argument. Debate is a challenging but thoroughly enthralling activity, and we hope to create an undergraduate Baruch debate team to compete with colleges throughout the city, and one day, throughout the country in cooperation with Baruch and CUNY policies.
The Baruch College Forensics Club will hold regular meetings during Club Hours (Thursdays between 12:30 - 2:30PM) in Room 210 at the 23rd Street building. The first meeting of the fall semester will be Thursday, OCTOBER 6TH.
Monday meeting times for the team: 6:30pm, 137 E25th Street, 3rd Floor Honors Lounge, Annex (thank you to the Honors program). All those looking to join the Debate Team are welcome to attend Monday meetings.
