By Martha Selph 01/20/2020 As we leave Iowa, I sit here on the airplane and reflect on our trip through the lens of the Global Engagement Learning Goals. Critically evaluate one’s own culture and biases. Examine your responsibilities as an active global citizen informed by multiple perspectives. I feel as though this was one of the easiestContinue reading “Reflections”

A Global Experience in Iowa?
By: Erin Smith 1/20/2020 Looking back on the past 10 days in Iowa, it is hard to believe we were only there for that short period of time. I had some reservations going into this trip because I had no idea what to expect. However, as we pulled out of the hotel this morning IContinue reading “A Global Experience in Iowa?”
Goodbye Iowa
By: Hana Hofeld As I sit on our last flight back to Elon, I am feeling a bundle of mixed emotions. I am happy to be coming back because I get to sleep in my own bed and I’ll be back to a regular routine. I am sad because these past 10 days in IowaContinue reading “Goodbye Iowa”
The Trip of a Lifetime
By: Victoria Egan As I sit here in the Des Moines airport among my classmates, who were strangers to me 12 days ago but are now such close friends, I can’t help but reflect upon my incredible time here in Iowa. This truly has been the trip of a lifetime. When we arrived, I hadContinue reading “The Trip of a Lifetime”
Goodbye, Iowa
By Callista DeGraw Well, it’s official. Our time in Iowa has come to an end. I’ve seen almost every candidate that has come through the greater Des Moines area, some even more than once, and heard every stump speech they’ve had to give. I have a greater understanding of the everyday Iowan’s casual and nearly-blaséContinue reading “Goodbye, Iowa”
Until 2024
By: Ashlyn DeLoughy And so it ends. Here I am finishing up our last story on the third floor of the downtown Des Moines Marriott. I take a moment to think of the intimidated girl who sat in this exact seat 10 days ago. I was nervous. There are so many talented journalists on thisContinue reading “Until 2024”
Making Connections
By: Baylor Rodman As we begin to wind down this trip and pack up top to head back to Elon, one thing that has truly stuck out is all of the connections I have been able to make within the past two weeks. First and foremost, the relationships with my peers has grown exponentially. WeContinue reading “Making Connections”
Dividing and conquering
By Maria Ramirez Uribe As our last event comes to a close, it’s crazy to think how far we’ve come in terms of covering candidates. I remember our first day when our journalism group split up covering Cory Booker and Marianne Williamson and Bill Weld. I had never before covered that style of event orContinue reading “Dividing and conquering”
Back to the oaks
By Jon Sarver Jr. The last 10 days have been a total blur; running all over the state, taking pictures, talking to candidates and voters and writing articles. Before I realized what was happening, I found myself packing for tomorrow’s flight back to North Carolina. Looking back on today, I thought it was fitting weContinue reading “Back to the oaks”
Come and Go
By: Andrea Sheetz The current scene as I write this post is eerily similar to what it looked like as I wrote the first one. I’m sitting in the same standard hotel room with a packed suitcase (less than 50 pounds is TBD) in the corner. After we depart tomorrow, not much will change fromContinue reading “Come and Go”
