CC Students Lead Politically Diverse Debate
Megan Clancy ’07
In a world of increasing political polarity, it’s reassuring to know that there are still places where civil discourse can happen across party lines.

On Friday, September 15, a group of students came together in Taylor Theatre to witness two of their classmates discuss and debate some of the most important topics affecting our country today.
