Students Discuss National Political Conventions

Eight of 13 Ohio Northern University students who attended the 2008 Democratic and Republican National conventions took part in a panel to discuss their experiences last Thursday. The students described their experiences, which included working security, aiding the Ohio party organizations, and working for Congressional Quarterly. Students were interviewed by local newspapers, provided analysis for radio stations, and several were interviewed by television stations in Denver and even the BBC. The students discussed the networking opportunities they had during the two weeks they spent at the conventions. In addition to their presentations, several students also blogged about their experiences at webstu.onu.edu/politics/
