The UWI Open Campus Anguilla hosted a special mentorship session for the Albena Lake Hodge Comprehensive School (ALHCS) Literary & Debating Society, on Wednesday 20th February, 2019, as part of their preparations for the upcoming Leeward Islands Debating Competition which started on 27th February 2019 in Antigua. The session was facilitated by UWI Alumna, Former Debater and Attorney-at-law, Mrs. Nakishma Rogers-Hull. In attendance were Ms. Samisha Connor, President of the ALHCS Literary and Debating Society, Ms. Michelle Morancie, Ms. Rhonicia Connor and Ms. Alysha Carty. The session was also supported by Dr. Phyllis Fleming-Banks and Ms. Tesia Harrigan from the UWI Open Campus Anguilla.
During the “round table” discussion, Mrs. Rogers-Hull shared her debating experiences as well as tips and strategies for sound content and effective delivery. She also quizzed the team on their preparations and fielded questions from the Debaters. The motivational session also sought to encourage the young orators to capitalise on their individual personalities and strengths, while embracing the unique attributes of an “Anguillian-styled” delivery.
The UWI Open Campus Anguilla wishes the ALHCS Literary and Debating Society much success, and has pledged increased support for the Club going forward.
