Iowa Caucuses 2016: What Happened and What's Next?

Panel Discussion

Tuesday, 02 Feb 2016 at 1:00 pm – Campanile Room, Memorial Union

This event is taking place as planned.

A panel of Iowa State faculty will analyze the results of the caucuses and the implications for the 2016 presidential campaign for both parties. Participants include Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, who has had more than thirty years of experience covering, working in, and studying political campaigns, and David Andersen, an assistant professor of political science who does research in voter behavior and the impact of social media on campaigns. Steffen Schmidt, University Professor of Political Science, will moderate the discussion.
This event concludes Iowa State's first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the Iowa Presidential Caucuses: www.iowacaucusesmooc.org.
