Description
CASAR Student Debate Series - Launched in Fall 2023:
The Center of American Studies and Research (CASAR) launched a Student Discussion Series in Fall 2023 semester, it is a student-led debate on a plethora of current hot topics. In this student discussion series, students play the role of delving into topics together to understand one another. This event is broadcasted on Facebook live via the CASAR Facebook Page, where the entire record is still available to watch. Students passionately present their arguments in an organized manner, going back and forth between the two sides, and often students become excited about leading their side of the class with their perspectives. The winner presenting the best argument to support their opinion is awarded a certificate of appreciation, a special feature (and photo) on the CASAR website, FB & IG pages as well as an honorary special feature on the 'Speaker of the month' board at the center. One of the main goals of this series of discussions is to engage CASAR more with the undergraduate students of AUC and encourage them to explore our courses & ultimately enroll in our minor.
The winner of this debate was Yomna Hisham Othman.
