"Debate, leading to compromise has always been the American way." - Carcieri
Welcome
The Cornell Forensics Society is a student organization offering intercollegiate speech and debate competition. For individual speech events, we participate in the AFA, NFA, and DSR-TKA sanctioned tournaments. The two-person policy debate squad travels to CEDA, NDT, and ADA sanctioned tournaments. However, CFS does more than compete against other universities, our program also gives back to the Ithaca community with a public service program for youth and various on-campus events. The program is open to all Cornell undergraduates regardless of previous experience or course of study. Come to one of our weekly meetings in 211 Kennedy Hall. We meet Mondays and Thursdays, 6 PM - 7 PM in Kennedy 211.
