Election Season
Students took part in a mock election held yesterday by Emily Pressman and the History Department as part of a nationwide effort to gauge student opinions on the presidential election and a series of specific issues, including energy, the role of money in campaigns, a nuclear Iran, a federal marriage amendment, universal healthcare, and reducing the federal deficit. With exception of the 2004 election, St. Andrew's students have correctly predicted the outcome of every presidential election since 1988.
The community was also treated to math teacher Pemberton Heath's breakdown of the current presidential election polling with an eye toward the differences between national and aggregated state polls.
Election night watch parties are already taking shape across campus to allow students to further engage.
