The MBA Extemp Round Robin resumes at 1:45 after lunch and the topic for round five will be U.S. foreign policy.
The topic for this year’s “experimental” (or as some say “the silly”) round concerned Obama’s administration. Extempers drew a name of a Obama cabinet appointee and had to answer a question concerning if they were that nominee what they would consider to be the biggest single greatest policy problem facing the country, how they would address it, and how they would ensure that the Obama administration made their proposal a priority.
