Collegiate Discussion Meet Contest
The Discussion Meet is designed to simulate a committee meeting in which discussion and active participation are expected from each college-age participant. The competition is evaluated based on a pre-determined topic. Participants build basic discussion skills, develop a keen understanding of important agricultural issues, and explore how groups can pool knowledge to reach consensus and solve problems.
