Question: Are you still doing virtual events this Fall? - Anonymous
Yes! The 2020 campaign doesn't rest. All of our events are completely virtual. We are hosting speakers (including some very exciting names), campaign surrogates, phone banks, and a virtual "DemCon" with some other College Democratic chapters. We also are offering a paid fellowship program. Any student, including first years, that is not on campus can still fully participate in the club.
