The university offers the class every two years. Students earn two college credits for volunteering at least 75 hours for the political campaign of their choice.
Students have various reasons for taking the class.
Since I have been volunteering for the Stupak campaign, I have gone on literature drops to surrounding areas, been in a Labor Day parade and made phone calls to areas in Alger County to ask people if they were interested in receiving yard signs. Jenifer Schultz, a senior, claims she decided to participate for the experience. Before taking this class, I had always wanted a job in the legal field. My mind has completely changed. I guess I never realized how much work was put in at the local levels.
