Lincoln Debate Club
Lincoln has always been a city of university-town civics and prairie-state pragmatism. The Lincoln Debate Club gives that tradition a venue: structured debates, motions sourced from local interest and global headlines, and a community that takes ideas seriously without taking themselves too seriously. New members welcome — including first-time debaters.
