Molly Minor participated in the School of Business Debate Competition

2018 Apr 19

SUNY New Paltz student Molly Minor of Bushkill, Pa. participated in the newly reformatted School of Business Debate Competition in March.

The debate takes place in a single day and requires students to react quickly, emphasizing argument and rhetoric rather than research. In prior years debaters were given a week or more to prepare for each round, but in the new format they had no more than 15 minutes after learning the topic to organize their thoughts.

Thirty-two teams of students debated for three rounds each, with four advancing to a semi-final round. The topic of each round of debate focused on a business issue with ethical and bottom-line implications.
