Students Jeff Thompson and Hannah Harrison participated in the Democratic and Republican national conventions through the Washington Center's Academic Seminar program this fall. In addition to their academic studies during the program, Thompson interned with the DNC CEO's Office and Harrison interned with the International Republican Institute. Thompson is working toward a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, Harrison on her master’s degree in environmental ethnography.

They were sponsored by the UAF Chancellor's Office.

Both students will be giving a presentation on their experiences Friday, Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. in the Wood Center multilevel lounge.
