Student Resource Center
Welcome to the Student Resource Center. In this area of the web site, you will find documents that are designed to help you learn more about debate and debating, about issues and research, and about public speaking and presentation.
Most of the documents on this page are in the "pdf" form, so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (a free program) to open them. If you do not already have this program, it is available from Adobe here.
