The Lifeboat Debate
Tue., April 20, 2021 at 5 p.m. on Zoom
The Lifeboat Debate is a fun showcase of majors within the College of Arts and Sciences. During the debate, Roosevelt faculty must respond to the following:
The end is near! The Apocalypse is coming to Chicagoland and, despite many attempts, humanity cannot stop the catastrophe. Luckily, a lifeboat is taking qualified individuals to form a new society on an island somewhere in Lake Michigan. Unfortunately, there is only one seat left.
The goal of each faculty panelist is to win the last seat on the lifeboat. By justifying their disciplines, debating other faculty, and responding to questions from the audience, professors will show how their discipline is needed to rebuild society.
At the end of the event, the audience will vote to decide which faculty member gets to board the lifeboat.
Who will win the final seat on the lifeboat? YOU make the call!
