Crow's Nest: Courses to Keep in Mind for Spring 2016, RTWH 2016!

The Road to the White House 2016 made the short list of "Courses to Keep in Mind" in a recent Crow's Nest article by Emily Tinti:


"With the holidays upon us and the looming Spring semester just around the corner, students are beginning (or already muddled in) the registration process.
For underclassman, it’s probably just about getting your “gen-eds” and that one anthropology class everyone recommended. Juniors are usually neck-deep in their major’s courses, taking more credit hours than planned, while balancing a part-time job or internship on the side. And seniors – well, they’re just trying to graduate and contemplating post-graduation life.
If you find that your schedule is lacking, or perhaps you just want to take something interesting in the spring, check out these courses. Emphasizing specific subjects, these classes can be a good way to learn something new.

"Road to the White House (POS 3931)
CRN 17980 | 6 credits
*Must take with CRN 17433
Mondays, 11 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.
This course includes a 3-credit seminar on presidential elections and a 3-credit, 10-day internship in New Hampshire working for one of the first primary campaigns in the nation. There will be field trips, guest speakers and political events.
Professor Judithanne McLauchlan arranged the trip and met with campaign staffs, but students can decide on which candidate they support. Course fees total about $850, which includes lodging and transportation. Airfare costs will be separate and determined at a later date. According to McLauchlan, “It will be an ambitious itinerary.”
