Special Events and Updates
Debate Night
We fiercely debated the resolution: White bread is preferable to whole grain bread. Each three-person debate team presented their arguments with facts and research, persuasive speech, and personal anecdotes.
After the dust settled, the affirmative team reigned victorious in support of white bread.
Jeopardy Night
The event featured 2 intense rounds of Jeopardy that challenged participants with a diverse range of topics and we engaged in Table Topics discussions that encouraged impromptu speaking and quick thinking.
The event provided an opportunity for members to not only test their knowledge but also enhance their ability to communicate effectively in various situations.
