An education in presidential politics

| About the New Hampshire project |
Students Jenny Felsen, Gary Li and Hanna Siddiqui are enrolled in UC Berkeley's Washington Program Office. Michael Goldstein, program director, says the New Hampshire primary provides students in the program with hands-on experience in politics, bridging the gap between what they learn in the classroom and the reality of hardball politics. Later, the students will write research papers on the presidential selection process, and present their findings at an April public forum that is part of the UC Washington Center's year-long lecture series on the 2004 presidential race.
