Watching debates on television

The students watched back-to-back debates sponsored by ABC News and Facebook at the Radisson. Televisions were tuned to the debates in a large plaza room. Food and refreshments were served, and students watched the debates along with hotel patrons.

The hotel also had televisions tuned to the debates in the lobby, and students congregated there as well.

The back-to-back debates, moderated by Charles Gibson, presented a unique format designed to allow the candidates to address each other, and each debate was successful in creating some measure of conflict amongst the candidates.
