Greetings,

Earlier this month, the CSAmerica Fall Summit 2007 was held in Chicago. Students from seventeen colleges and universities attended this inaugural event that focused political issues in America's heartland.

And we're just getting started. Coming next semester, CSAmerica will host our second National Convention in Washington, D.C. and will roll out Engage '08, a national voter education initiative.

From all of us at CSAmerica, best of luck on your final examinations and have a wonderful holiday season.

The Collegiate Society held its inaugural CSAmerica Fall Summit in Chicago November 2-4. 72 students from 17 colleges and universities attended the three-day non-partisan political debate conference.

Students attending the Fall Summit had the opportunity to participate in seven debates ranging from what to do with Iran to the death penalty. The debates were conducted in the participation-friendly CSAmerica debate format, which encourages attendees to participate in the debate. There were also several informal discussions, or dialogue sessions, including one on the upcoming primary elections. Additionally, the Summit featured a mock trial, quiz bowl, and a crisis simulation.

More information about the Fall Summit including debate and discussion topics, results, Outstanding Orator Award winners, and pictures from the event can be found online at http://www.csamerica.org/events/fs07/.
