DIS Debate Society

The DIS Debate Society in action

The DIS Debate Society was founded in 2004 in response to the growing interest in English-language debate in Korea. The first team of DIS debaters to compete in a national tournament won the Rookie Finals round in the 2004 Northeast Asian College Debate Championship. Since then the DIS Debate Society has grown considerably in size and strength and has gone on to win numerous awards at national and international debate championships. More than 50 students are now actively involved in the DIS Debate Society and, after winning three national championships, it is widely regarded as one of the strongest debate clubs in Korea. According to the 2009 rankings of the Korea Intervarsity Debate Association, the DIS Debate Society is ranked first in the nation.
