Tickets required
As the capstone event of the Winter Homecoming and Up for Debate weekend, three episodes of CBC's The Debaters will be recorded on campus, thus extending the debate around the future of undergraduate education outside of the academy and into the world of stand-up comedy.
The popular CBC radio show is an irreverent public forum that deconstructs the ideological underpinnings of the debate structure and moves the traditional, even elite format of “debates” from the esoteric to the accessible. Steve Patterson and his team of comics will ask questions and explore issues around education and other topics in their inimitable style.
As there is limited availability, the University encourages those who are interested in attending to purchase tickets early.
