This fall, LLCC will host a class on elections (POS-299-105) that is being co-taught by subject matter experts in political science, Professors McDonald and Vinzant. The course (along with other political science courses) is designed to help describe, explain and perhaps predict the upcoming Presidential election. The course follows a special, 12-week semester (Aug. 17-Nov. 6), designed to coincide with the election run and is open for enrollment now. This class is scheduled over lunch and LLCC faculty and staff are welcome to join the class and the conversation!
