Professor Hopes the National Conventions Will Get Students to Vote

Updated: Fri 10:36 PM, Aug 31, 2012

The Republicans have officially nominated Mitt Romney as their candidate for this year's election.

The Republican National Convention just ended, and now it's almost the Democratic Party's turn to speak their minds.

WKU's Department of Political Science Chair, Saundra Audrey will be in attendance.

She says she wants to take what she learns from the Convention to encourage students on campus to vote.

"I'll be looking for strategies, tactics, techniques, new technologies, the cutting edge stuff on how to mobilize voters so that I can bring that back to my students who are going to be future campaign managers, and also students here on campus because we want them to be able to vote," Ardrey says.

The Democratic National Convention starts Labor Day and runs through Thursday in Charlotte, North Carolina.
