USF goes on the campaign trail

Nineteen University of South Florida students (mostly political science
majors on the St. Petersburg campus) descended on New Hampshire last
week to experience and volunteer in the nation's first presidential
primary on Tuesday. This is the second time professor and former White
House staffer Judithanne Scourfield McLauchlan has taught the Road to
the White House, which looks at the history of presidential campaigns
and includes a 10-day internship in New Hampshire. Each student gets to
choose which candidate they help, and they have done tasks that include
waving signs, distributing literature and working phone banks. For
several of the students it was the first time they saw snow, and
several others were disappointed to learn that the restaurants in New
Hampshire do not serve sweet tea. Most of them plan on volunteering for
their candidates when they return to the Tampa Bay area.
Take a photographic journey with them.
