The core idea of The Round Table is to be a platform through which students in and outside of Creek can engage in healthy discourse over the issues they care about, helping them to develop their own views of issues while also seeing and learning the merits in others’ points of view. We chose to name the club The Round Table because a round table is a table with no head, symbolizing that everyone at the table is equal and their beliefs considered. The club would not only be a way for people to present their own views, but also become exposed to and debate against the views of others. We want students to be discussing to learn about topics and debating to evaluate their views rather than just arguing with no real goal in mind.
