Imagine a campus where every student, regardless of background, wields the power to shape their academic community. Student elections can be the key to unlocking an inclusive, engaging, and democratically vibrant university experience.

“This House Believes university student elections are vital for ensuring every student’s voice is heard.”

The discussion may encompass topics such as political apathy among young people, the benefits of participatory democracy, and the pedagogical value of hands-on political experience.
