The University Park Undergraduate Association is partnering with the Center for Character, Conscience, and Public Purpose, in addition to the League of Women Voters in Centre County, to host the 2019 PSU Votes Week.

  • Canvassing in Pollock and Findlay Commons from 4 to 7 p.m.
  • Climate Action Policy debate at Flex Theatre, from 7 to 8 p.m. The College of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents will all be in attendance.

Tuesday

  • Canvassing in the HUB from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., complete with Creamery ice cream.
  • Canvassing in Warring Commons from 4 to 7 p.m.

Wednesday

  • Canvassing in the HUB from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • Canvassing in Redifer Commons from 4 to 7 p.m.

Thursday

  • Lecture by Dolores Huerta, presented by the Latino Caucus, at 6 p.m.

Friday
