Worth It Or Not?: Going To College (A Live Debate)
Description:
Some believe higher-ed has become an outdated industry that charges big fees and delivers little value. So how long until the entire industry is disrupted? Or is college as we know it here to stay and for good reason? This session stages a live debate to argue for and against the motion that it might not be worth saving for your kids’ college education anymore (assuming saving is even an option.)
Using a debate format, the event positions thought leaders in innovation and technology for or against the motion. Audience members vote for or against the motion at the start of the session and again at its completion; the side to change the most minds wins.
