Grierson Wins the Great Debate

Graduating political science major and Westmont College Student Association President Hannah Grierson argued her way to the top of the Westmont Debate Tournament and earned $500 on April 23 in the Global Leadership Center. She argued against the topic of the United States implementing a universal basic income. Sophomore Eden Lawson, who recently won the David K. Winter Servant Leadership Award, came in second place, taking home $250.

Sophomore Jack Gilley won the debate against sophomore Jasper Litton, claiming third place and $100 for arguing against California public schools requiring school uniforms. Debate club president and WCSA vice president Hans Khoe resurrected the debate club after a lengthy hiatus.
