North Central Michigan College’s Luncheon Lecture will present a presidential election preview on Friday, April 15. The luncheon will be in the Iron Horse Café (cafeteria). Lunch begins at 11:30 a.m. and the program begins at noon.
Presidential campaigns may be overly long and too expensive, but they might be the best test of a candidate’s ability to handle the job. Three billion dollars might be spent on the 2016 race. What should voters look for? How should they interpret poll results? Learn about the math of the Electoral College and the ways candidates seek to construct political narratives to influence your vote. Scott LaDeur, Ph.D., political science instructor at North Central Michigan College, will explain how voters can prepare themselves for the long campaign ahead.
Reservations are required. Call 231-348-6600 or email luncheonlectures@ncmich.edu to reserve your place at the table. Cost is $10.
