EVENT: Examining the Importance of the Youth Vote

April 21, 2009 by admin 

I have been team teaching a class this spring as part of the University of Hartford‘s new Political Practitioner in Residence program.  It’s been great to return to my alma mater twice a week this semester to help build this new program.

Tonight (Wednesday, April 22nd) I am hosting a roundtable discussion at the University to talk about how young voters are becoming increasingly more influential in elections at all levels of government.  We have a great panel and I hope you can join us for this interesting conversation.

Here are the details:

WHAT ― Political experts will examine the impact of the youth vote on the 2008 Presidential election during a panel discussion at the University of Hartford. They will also look into the trend of more young people participating in the political process.

Panelists include 100th District State Rep. Matthew Lesser (D, Middletown), Mary McClelland, deputy political director of Rock the Vote, and Matt Blocker, director of the University’s Center for Community Service.  Bilal Sekou, an associate professor of political science at the University, will moderate the discussion.

WHEN ― Wednesday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m.

WHERE ― Suisman Lounge, Gengras Student Union, University of Hartford, 200 Bloomfield Ave., West Hartford
