Election Lecture Series - Research in Political Communication
Since the 2008 election, the Departments of Communication and Political Science and International Relations have worked together to co-sponsor Election Day events and a fall lecture series. Beginning in 2010 the departments are working in collaboration with the Center for Political Communication. During election years an election event is held on campus on Election Day and each fall a one-credit lecture series, open to the public, is offered.
