The BridgeArkansas RSO invites students to join a "Debate Debrief" on the presidential debates at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 12, in Graduate Education Building 113. This event offers a unique opportunity for students to come together and discuss the key moments, policies and rhetoric from the debates in a respectful and inclusive environment.

Bridge USA, the national organization behind BridgeArkansas, is a non-partisan, student-led group committed to fostering constructive political dialogue on 38 college campuses across the country. Their mission is to create spaces where students from all political backgrounds can engage in meaningful conversations, share diverse viewpoints and work toward understanding and common ground.

At the "Debate Debrief," all viewpoints are not only welcomed but encouraged. Whether you're passionate about a particular candidate or still forming your opinions, this event provides a platform for you to voice your thoughts, listen to others and engage in dialogue that transcends partisan divides.

In addition to the stimulating conversation, snacks will be provided to fuel the discussion. So, come hungry for both debate and refreshments, and be part of a community that values open, respectful discourse.

Students interested in attending the "Debate Debrief" should mark their calendars for Sept.12 and head to GRAD 113 at 5 p.m. Follow @bridgeuofa on Instagram or check out the HogSync page for more details.
