A UW-Madison graduate student represented UW-Madison as a student delegate to produce questions to potentially be asked at Monday’s presidential debate between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Jacqueline Moss, who is pursuing a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, went to the 2016 College Debate, a new, nonpartisan program that aims to give young voters a voice on the issues that matter most to them. The group formed questions based on issues they agreed were important.
Delegates gathered twice at Dominican University in California within the last three months and came up with a list of questions that focused five policy issues?education, civil rights, the economy, foreign policy and immigration. The finished list, which was submitted to the Commission on Presidential Debates, consisted of three specific questions for each policy.
