Campus venues welcome youth watch parties

November 4, 2008

As this historic election unfolds more and more student voters are tuning in around campus anxiously awaiting the results.  From the New Student Union to the Knowledge Center and even from student dorms, CNN, MSNBC and other news networks are on television screens being watched by captivated audiences. 

“I’m always really interested in politics,” said Teal Ericson, a UNR student. “This election really means a lot.”

Ericson, who watched from the theater in the New Student Union, said she plans to stay and watch for election results all night. 

She is not alone.

Sophomore Zachary Johnson is also viewing the election from the same convenient location.

“I voted two weeks ago,” Johnson said. “I’ve paid attention to politics but this is the first election I’ve actually tried to get involved and volunteer. Politicians should really pay attention to us [youth].”

One election watch party that attracted quite a crowd assembled in the Great Room at the Crowley Student Union.  The Political Science Honors Society gathered to watch the outcome of the election with hot wings and soda.

The many venues on campus that enable students to view the live election taking place are seen as beneficial to students who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity.

“A lot of students can’t afford TVs or cable,” said Jenna Talbot, a junior.

All over the country (and campus) young adults are getting involved in all aspects of the presidential campaign and candidates from both sides have been targeting this key group.

“It’s history making, I want to be a part of history,” said Latijera Avery, a freshman.
