Food for Thought: The 2012 Election [Lunch Event!]

Join the UHP and Prof. John Sides, Professor of Political Science and UHP Faculty Fellow, 2012-2013 as he presents on his research over a UHP provided lunch.

Food for Thought: The Story of the 2012 Presidential Campaign (in Graphs!)

“Game changer.” We heard it so many times during the 2012 U.S. presidential election. But what actually made a difference—and what was just hype? John Sides will tell the story of the election in just a few graphs — using a “moneyball” approach that gets beyond the anecdote, folklore, and conventional wisdom that often pass for election analysis.

Tuesday, March 19th from 11:30am-12:30pm in Ames 101Q (MVC).
Seats are capped at 15, so register now!

A Walk of Support

UHP student Derek Lee is participating in a walk for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The walk, hosted through the Kappa Alpha chapter (Derek’s fraternity) on campus, will be held on Sunday March 24th at 11AM starting in Kogan Plaza.  A lunch will be served following the walk.
There is a $15 sign-up fee, which will cover the food and a T-shirt for the event.
Derek is a team captain, and different teams are competing to see who can raise the most funds.  If you’d like to join his team and participate in the walk:
