St. John’s University continued its PARTICIPATE
’12 program on Tuesday, October 16, hosting its second of
three Presidential Debate watch parties. NY1 News correspondent
Courtney Gross spent the evening with students in the Welcome
Center, covering the events at St. John’s through live stand-ups
during NY1’s broadcast.
Gross’ coverage included interviews with several students on hand
to watch the debate, and Brian Browne, St John’s Assistant Vice
President of Government Relations, who heads St. John’s
PARTICIPATE ’12 initiative. Prior to the viewing
of the Presidential Debate, students held a “Debate Before the
Debate,” covering various topics including the economy, education,
and gun control.
