Alumni share political views
In the CCPS forum “Election 2004: What Difference
Will A Year Make?” four alumni from the School of Public Affairs
discussed the future of the 2004 election. The topics discussed included
what politicians need to do to get young people voting, a possible
Howard Dean–John Edwards ticket, how Dean’s grassroots efforts
are changing the landscape of elections, and using the Web to get
out messages and raise funds. The panelists were, from left, Mike
Panetta, director of public affairs at Grassroots Enterprise, and
president of the SPA alumni chapter; Fred Turner, chief of staff for
Representative Alcee Hastings; Kelita Svoboda Bak, director of government
relations, Youth Service America; and Glen Bolger, president of the
Republican polling firm Public Opinion Strategies. James Thurber,
director of AU’s Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies,
moderated the event. Afterwards the panelists chatted with students
from their alma mater, sharing both real world experience and business
cards. —EDJ
