Opinions, arguments, charisma and intellect are what flow in the veins of a USJ chemistry debater. Yes, 2nd of March 2020 was a much-anticipated day for these enthusiastic debaters who during their last year Inter- University Debate competition were placed the runners-up by a small miss. Under the guidance of Dr. Theshini Perera and Dr. Thilini Gunasekera, the preparations began with the division of members into 5 teams to face the battles against College of Chemical Sciences, University of Jaffna, Colombo, Kelaniya and Ruhuna. The captains for the five battles were Buddhi Lekamwasam, Lasni Nishanke, Bishenka Mahaulpatha and Manesha Fernando respectively. The entire team that represented USJ comprised of 8 members. The rest of the members were Thilini Amarasinghe, Piumi Peiris, Sandali Wijerathna, and Modith Wickramasinghe. It was indeed a proud moment for all the USJ debaters. Prof. Nilwala Kottegoda, Head of the Department of Chemistry and Dr. Theshini Perera were present at the competition to celebrate that moment of victory with the USJ debaters.
