ISSDA

The International Students' Speech and Debate Association

What is ISSDA?

The International Students’ Speech and Debate Association is an organization made by students for students who have the desire to further enhance and develop their speech and debate skills.

Our Mission

ISSDA's mission is to give students the opportunity to experience speech and debate competitions, lectures, workshops, and other activities that they would not have otherwise. In this organization, people can expand their social circle, make connections, learn about the national and international speech and debate circuit, and above all, polish their skills in speech and debate.
