Iowa caucuses draw presidential candidates
Sophie Meads ’19 introduces Hillary Clinton to hundreds of voters at a town hall meeting outside of College Hall.
Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses place Cornell College students in the right place at the right time to meet presidential candidates and engage in the democratic process.
The college kicked off what is planned to be a series of Republican and Democratic candidate visits with a nationally publicized town hall meeting on Oct. 7 by former first lady, senator, and secretary of state Hillary Clinton. After her public appearance, Clinton was interviewed by PBS NewsHour co-anchor Judy Woodruff at the Garner President’s House.
Cornell does not endorse any candidate or political party. It does support critical thinking and analysis of political candidates and how to become civically engaged in the American democratic process. Watch news.cornellcollege.edu for announcements of upcoming speakers.
