The campaign to elect the next President of the United States has already been longer and more expensive than any in American history. It's also been one of the most engaging, with no sitting President or Vice President in the race for the first time since 1952. Hundreds of thousands of young people have participated in the process, and the number of small donors to campaigns has literally exploded. What lies ahead in the general election? This learning community will be based at the Dole Institute of Politics, where each semester outside "fellows" are brought in to lead study groups featuring political operatives, journalists, and candidates themselves. Topics will include the domestic issues facing the candidates, foreign policy, political communication (including ads), campaign organization, polling, and get-out-the-vote efforts.
