A host of back-to-school resources from the FIREStudent Network!

FIRE is excited to kick off the new academic year with a wealth of resources to help shine a spotlight on bad policies and educate members of your campus community about the importance of student rights. From hosting debates to educating students about their rights, the FIRE Student Network has you covered with the tools you need to make this school year a success.
To get started, take a look at our completely revamped website, a one-stop shop for everything you need to engage in activism this school year. Here, you鈥檒l find over 20 new resources offering educational and practical tips so you can defend and protect civil liberties on America鈥檚 campuses. Check out resources on how to evaluate and improve your school鈥檚 policies, place an op-ed in the student newspaper on campus, use social media to bolster your activism, and much more. If you need inspiration for what you can do on campus this fall, look no further. We're here to help you protect and defend the rights of all students on campus, from scrubbing unconstitutional policies from your school鈥檚 books to ensuring that student鈥檚 promised and constitutional rights are honored.
One fantastic way you can engage your campus community is by hosting a debate or debate series on campus. Debates are a great way to show the complexity of an array of topics and, hopefully, help attendees develop a healthy respect and appreciation for 鈥渉earing out the other side.鈥 To help you get a debate off the ground on your campus, check out 果冻传媒app官方鈥檚 Guide for Creating Your Own Debate Program. From the guide, you鈥檒l learn how to strategically choose debate motions; get ideas for how to obtain speakers to participate in the debate; learn how to manage logistics and marketing; and explore templates for emails and invitations to be sent to speakers.
FIRE is happy to support and empower students on campus who want to host debates, coffeehouse conversations, or other events which explore multiple and diverse viewpoints on campus. To give students the resources to do so, we are making a limited amount of funding available for well-thought-out program proposals. FIREcan read more about the program rules and submit a proposal via our .
For more than a decade, our 15,000-member FIRE Student Network has been at the forefront of the fight for freedom of speech at our nation鈥檚 institutions of higher learning. Without the hard work, passion, commitment, and drive of students like you, 果冻传媒app官方鈥檚 success would not be possible. If you haven't already, joining the FIREStudent Network is the best way to stay in contact with 果冻传媒app官方, work with us in the future, and take advantage of our many resources. If you need additional resources or advice on how to make an impact at your school, FIREStudent Network staff is here to help. We鈥檇 love to hear from you at students@thefire.org.
