"In addition to a variety of informational sessions and workshops, participants may have the opportunity to hear from the current presidential candidates. Senators John McCain and Barack Obama have been invited to speak to the crowd."
Meet the students ExCiTeD to attend:
Chris Richert '11 from Indianola, IA is a political science major with history & theatre minors. He's an active member of SAE fraternity & the SIMPSON COLLEGE Republicans, & is a D.J. for SIMPSON's KSTM radio station.
"Far too many Americans are more concerned with who was voted off American Idol rather than who will be voted on to lead this country,” said Richert. “That needs to change, and I plan on doing everything I can to ensure that my generation becomes civically and politically mindful of our future."
