Many consider the upcoming presidential election to be the most important election of our generation and experts predict that the path toward a winner will extend far beyond Election Day. Amid the uncertainty brought about by this election, many are left with questions about what to expect and what happens next. What is a swing state and why are they important? Why is the vote important? What exactly does it mean if the election goes to the courts? How can students engage their voice on campus? This educational session focused on these questions and more. Moderated by Dr. Travis Douglas, Assistant Vice President for Residential Learning, this panel-style session featured:

• Dr. Kevin Koett, Dean of Students
• Dr. Kathy Javian, Lecturer, Political Science 
• Dr. Andrew Gooch, Assistant Professor, Political Science
• Roxie Patton, Director, SJICR

This event was cosponsored by the Office of Residential Learning & University Housing, College of Humanities & Social Sciences, Department of Political Science & Economics, Dean of Students Office, and the Social Justice, Inclusion and Conflict Resolution Office (SJICR).
