How the program debates

Moraine Valley’s Speech and Debate Team competes in debate and speaking events, and the college invites students to join. A June 2026 campus news report says the college president rehearsed with the team during the spring semester, documenting 2025–26 activity. The team also hosted an October 2025 invitational; a college report identifies Communications professor Krista Appelquist as director/co-coach of Forensics (Speech). Published pages do not establish the team’s exact debate format, so no format filter is asserted.
