American Election Night 2016
In 2012, Bamberg University’s American Studies program celebrated its first "American Election Night." On November 8, 2016, we came together again to discuss electoral proceedings, the candidates, media coverage and much else concerning the presidential election. Students, colleagues, and friends of the university joined us for an evening of up-to-date analyses, live debates, and critical discussions – while eagerly awaiting the results.
