Change Or Continuity: A False Dichotomy

From the beginning of time, change and volatility have been constants of human society. With events occuring at an unprecedented rate recently, change is inevitable. With this in mind, student leaders have to understand that the world that they grew up in will be totally alien to the one which they will be eventually leading in. More importantly, they have to recognise that there still remain certain fundamental aspects of the human condition which must be preserved. Through this convention, we hope to set students' minds to ponder about the future, thinking about how they can facilitate change that does not come at the expense of continuity, thus gaining both insight and preparation for their endeavours to come.
