An active political scene encourages student involvement

Posted on 20 August 2008 by Daniel Suhr

For the next several months, living in a battleground state will be an absolute thrill. For the political junkie, nothing is more fun that living in a battleground state in a presidential election season. In 2004, Wisconsin was decided by less than one percent of the vote, and early polling data show this election is going [...] Continue Reading

Election reflection 2006: Victory is more than a vote

Posted on 06 December 2006 by Mary Ellen Burke
