Fletcher Debate Society
The Fletcher Debating Society (FDS) serves the student body as a fun, instructive and informative tool. The Society seeks to cultivate those skills which should be possessed by every graduating student from Fletcher, irrespective of career choice. Above all, these include clarity of thought, lucidity in articulating ideas, and presentation. They all manifest themselves through the art of debate. The end goal for the Society, however, is to inform. Innumerable discussions take place within the walls of Fletcher or on our exciting Social List. However, critical learning tends to peter off due to restrictions such as time, lack of appropriate platform, or poor structure. FDS envisions the learning of new ideas, and disciplines, for those who want a truly multidisciplinary learning at Fletcher. And we aim to have a great time while we're at it. Please join us.
