The Mona Campus’ Debating Team emerged winners of the 15th Renewal of the Caribbean Intercollegiate Debating Competition held recently in the US Virgin Island of St. Thomas. Mona team member, Warrick Lattibeaudiere was the top performer, walking away with eight individual trophies: four for best speaker, three for best rebutter and the overall best speaker award. Teams from the three UWI campuses, as well as from the University of Technology, Jamaica and the University of the US Virgin Islands, participated in the competition, which was first organized in 1989 as a means of opening communication links and developing camaraderie among students in the Caribbean region. It was also seen as a forum to promote health, intellectual competition among tertiary students.
