Spring Break
Each Democratic Presidential candidate received a standing ovation during their visit to the debate's viewing party in Mandell Theater Oct. 30, and candidates who came to the viewing party following the live debate made all the difference, according to Tim Urian, a senior majoring in Film Studies.
Hundreds of Drexel students selected Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as the debate winner Oct. 31, through the new campus-specific polling web site, www.open-vote.com. With 383 votes cast as of 1:04 a.m., Obama garnered 47 percent of student support. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.
The Drexel Democrats, the Office of Government and Community Relations, and the Office of University Relations worked together to coordinate close to 200 student volunteers that functioned to help the day run smoothly on the day of the Democratic Presidential Debate.
