The UF Speech and Debate Team functions as one cohesive unit, made up of three distinctive squads. Except for competitions and practices and public debated, the squads come together to take part in team meetings, community service projects, social gatherings, and to, of course, represent the Gator Nation!
The UF Speech and Debate Team meets every Tuesday evening at 6:15 p.m. in Rolfs 211. If you are interested, please come by and see what we are all about. Feel free to contact any of our current officers or coaches with any questions.
