The Jefferson Literary and Debating Society is the oldest student-run organization at the University of Virginia. The Jefferson Society is a club where speech, literature, and topics of interest are discussed in good company and with lively spirit. We believe we learn and grow best when our opinions are challenged in open discussion with members of other ideologies and backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of school or study, are invited to join the Society. The Jefferson Society has served as an intellectual home for a future U.S. president, several Senators, a Nobel Laureate, world-famous poets, journalists, and countless more. We gather on Friday nights at 7:29pm in Hotel C, West Range to deliver speeches on our favorite topics, debate pressing matters, discuss literature, and have a good time with friends old and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a lot more than our Friday meetings. Each semester, you can find us hosting formals, competing in Field Days against other student organizations, grabbing dinner on the Corner, and much more. There are many ways to experience the Society during your time at the University, and we welcome you to interview with us at the beginning of each semester and attend our frequent public events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
