Debate Discussion Thursday, October 16th!

Join Professor Fred Campbell and other PTK members for a discussion of the final Presidential Debate.

First, watch the debate (on any major network) Wednesday night at 9pm. Take notes about what you see, what you agree or disagree with, and what you might still have questions about.

Then, come to the Galleria at 3:30pm Thursday to discuss it. This is a great opportunity for some real discussion with your peers about the 2 candidates and their positions.

Republicans, Democrats, Green Party, and all others are welcome. Bring a snack with you! Hope to see you there!
