Braver College Debate: Does religion have a place in higher education?

UNCG students, faculty, and staff are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue. CD&D Braver College Debates are not competitive, but provide a deep experience of civil discourse. Conducted in a light parliamentary style, they teach students to engage with each other 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.

This request led to a reception in her honor, which ended with a poignant conversation where artists Aminah Coppage ‘25, Jalani Maxwell ‘24, and Myles Wilder ‘25 were able to ask their famous predecessor the questions they pondered while creating the mural.
