As part of the College’s ongoing Get Out & Vote campaign, Lourdes will host a political debate and forum featuring local Democratic and Republican representatives.  

Debate information: Tom Estrella, Associate Professor of Psychology, will debate from a Republican perspective and Dr. Dale Lanigan, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Justice Studies, will debate from a Democratic perspective. Students groups will also participate in friendly debates about issues pertaining to the presidential election, state of the economy and other politically relevant issues.

Q & A Forum: Local representatives from both presidential campaigns will conduct a Q & A forum to conclude the event. Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served.

The Get Out & Vote campaign is made possible through the Ohio Campus Compact Voter Engagement Grant. Lourdes officially launched the campaign on Constitution Day in September and will conclude Get Out & Vote with an election night watch party in the Ebeid Student Center.
