Students will be among the first in the nation to tour C-SPAN's Campaign 2012 Bus when it stops at the corner of Locust and Hanna streets Friday from 10 a.m. to noon.
In light of the upcoming 2012 presidential election, C-SPAN has once again kicked off its "Road to the White House" tour, named after C-SPAN's signature political program.
The Campaign 2012 Bus travels the country to promote and enhance C-SPAN's resources and political coverage by stopping at major political events such as candidate debates and speeches in early primary states. Also on the tour, representatives from C-SPAN meet with voters on the campaign trail.
The bus will tour state capitals, visit community events and host students and teachers across the nation, giving them an inside look at C-SPAN's comprehensive educational and political offerings.
Visitors will learn about programming and resources via HDTVs, touch screen computers, laptops and mobile devices.
Also available will be a section of the bus where students can obtain information about applying for internships at the organization's Washington D.C. headquarters.
