A Presidential Debate Watch will be held at the University of Memphis on Wednesday, Oct. 3.  The debate will be shown onscreen in the Rose Theatre from 7 to 10:30 p.m.

Audiences at six Tennessee universities will be linked via satellite to watch the debate and to discuss it afterward. They have been invited to bring their cell phones and laptops, so they can participate in the polling that will take place before and after the debate.

The U of M event is sponsored by the Political Science Department and Pi Sigma Alpha national political science honor society, with assistance from Dr. Heather Larsen-Price and her class that is studying the presidency.

More information is available from Dr. Larsen-Price at 901-378-8767.
