“I can’t even think of a caption at this point.”
By: Erin Smith 1/15/2020 The most difficult part of writing this blog post for me is trying to condense down these past five days into just one post.

A Speechless Debate
By Jack Corby Posted: January 15th, 2019. I sat in a seat without a colorful sticker taped to it. The seat was like any other seat in the auditorium, made of strong wood and made with little padding.

The best kind of crazy
By: Andrea Sheetz Last Friday night I was sitting at the hotel bar with my classmates talking about how we spent the day at our various placements. As I described what exactly went into a precinct packet, my professor looked at me and asked, “Did you ever think you would know that?” Not in aContinue reading “The best kind of crazy”
Democratic Debate, Up Close & Personal
By Liz Crouse Watching from my television at home, I never realized how real presidential debates were. I never knew that candidates frantically scribbled down notes as their colleagues spoke or that, during a particularly stressful question, a candidate may subtly wipe sweat off his or her brow. I never conceptualized how thick the airContinue reading “Democratic Debate, Up Close & Personal”
