Braver Angels - Utah State University Debate

Braver Angels Collegiate Debate: Should the US forgive student loan debt?

Utah State University students, faculty, and staff are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue. Braver Angels debates are non-competitive and provide a deep experience of civil discourse. Conducted in a light parliamentary style, they teach students to engage respectfully around difficult, polarizing issues. Students think together, listen carefully, and allow themselves to be touched and even changed by each other’s ideas. Participants emerge with greater empathy and appreciation for diversity of thought.

Sponsored by the office of Utah Governor Spencer Cox, the Institute of Government & Politics, and the USU Government Relations Council, this collegiate debate is free and brought to you with the support of a partnership of Braver Angels, BridgeUSA, and the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), non-profit organizations that believe in the power of free expression and respectful exchange of ideas on America's college campuses.
