It is fun to see Indiana college campus hosting debate watch parties for our Indiana Debate Commission gubernatorial and senate debates!

We welcome student volunteers and student journalists onsite at our debates, including our closed-studio debates. They are Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and unaffiliated, but all are eager to learn more about Indiana politics and public policy. Their engagement, in the studio and at DEBATE WATCH PARTIES on their home campuses is part of our non-partisan commitment to educating and engaging Hoosier voters of all ages and political backgrounds.
