The Road to the White House

The Lucky Few

Here are the 29 lucky students who got the opportunity of a lifetime. Our 3 credit course, The Road to the White House, teaches us all about the Presidential primary process. We have the opportunity to learn directly from the expert, Dr. JSM. She has taught us all about why New Hampshire is important in the sequential primary process, and how grassroots campaigning works. 

And the best part, from Feb 2nd-12th, we get to participate in a 3 credit internship in the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire! We get to work for the candidates of our choice, and our class will be spread out between Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Andrew Yang, Donald Trump, the NH GOP, and the best campaign, Elizabeth Warren!

I wanted to participate in this class because it is the epitome of experiential learning and is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to learn the history and politics of presidential elections while also being in the field canvassing for the candidate I believe in.
