Community Engagement

Students who major in Sociology and Criminology have the opportunity to do community-engaged work as part of their coursework. Engaging with projects related to food insecurity, organizing clothing for those who need interview attire, helping youth gain entrepreneurial skills, tutoring incarcerated youth, and more, our students directly apply what they have learned in the classroom to help the local community.

Debate

Our purpose is to participate in debates to better our understanding of speech, argumentation and the world. The Debate Union shall engage in debates throughout the year to inform and entertain the Capital campus. We will also bring in relevant speakers to speak on current and debate-worthy issues to members of the Union and the campus as a whole. This portion of the Debate Union will focus on college debaters finding, engaging, educating, and cultivating their peers into debaters on a more personal level than our Ludlum-Forum competition debate counterpart.
