C-SPAN’s state-of-the-art, 45-foot customized motor coach will make a stop on campus from 10 a.m.-noon Tuesday, April 10, as part of C-SPAN’s 50 Capitals Tour. The bus will be parked in the Liberal Arts parking lot and students, faculty and community members are invited to stop by.
C-SPAN is partnering with Cable One to engage teachers, students, community members and elected officials through interactive demonstrations of C-SPAN’s multi-platform public service resources.
The C-SPAN Bus embarked on a 50 Capitals Tour in September 2017 and is heading to every U.S. state capital, culminating in November 2018 for the 25thanniversary of the bus program. Throughout this 14-month tour, the C-SPAN Bus will open its doors at each state capitol to welcome visitors and interview elected officials during “Washington Journal.” C-SPAN Representatives will also gather video responses from visitors as part of its “Voices from the States” – an opportunity for visitors to share viewpoints on state issues and what they think Washington leaders should do to address local concerns.
