Welcome to Students for Open Discussion!
Welcome to Students for Open Discussion! We are a club all about having interesting conversations and respecting different viewpoints. Whether you're a political enthusiast or just curious about the world, everyone is welcome to join and share their thoughts. Let's build a more informed and compassionate community, one discussion at a time.
Returning members: Our meeting format will be the same as before. We will try to add more special events this semester. We will email or announce those details on this webpage.
New(er) Attendees: Here is what you can expect:
- On average, meetings begin with about 5 minutes of club business.
- We introduce ourselves and briefly share our stance on the topic being discussed.
- Then, the discussion flows relatively freely, and the president facilitates conversation as needed.
Everyone has the opportunity to share if they wish. You can choose your level of engagement. We always strive to ensure the discussion environment is respectful and open to all views.
Discussions for Spring 2025 start on January 31st, Friday, 5 PM-6 PM, 0205 Carver Hall (Note: Our meetings are in a different location than the fall semester.) and end on Friday, May 2nd (with no meeting the week of Spring Break).
We hope to see you there!
