Pitch the Next Janus Debate!

Proposals are short, three to four sentence summaries of the topic up for debate. They generally include why the topic is now relevant, what the specific question at hand is, and what the dissenting argument may be.

Along with a proposal is a list of potential speakers, both for and against. Ideally, a complete proposal would help us get a sense of what you would really hope to see discussed and debated on campus, but any submission of a topic, or just one speaker would be a starting point -- the Janus Forum will work with you to put on a great event.

The submission form is at janusforum.org/pitch, and a sample proposal can be found at the bottom of that page.
