Political Issues Education

Posted by Admin On 9:48:00 AM
Voters will elect the next president of the United States in just 19 days, and some may be overwhelmed as they prepare to cast an educated vote. Jason Lupuloff, a third-year public policy and industrial engineering major, hopes to ease the process of learning about candidates and issues for other students.  With peers from Tech and other universities, Lupuloff started Why Gen Weekly, a website devoted to educating students about politics.

“It’s for and by college-aged students and is done in a simple way,” said Lupuloff. New content each week is devoted to a specific political issue, with a news section complemented by columns from conservative, liberal and libertarian students. Articles are kept concise because Lupuloff knows students are busy. The site's name comes from the "Generation Y" moniker given to the college-aged demographic and the spirit of inquiry Lupuloff hopes to inspire. 

Students can keep up with Why Gen Weekly as it posts new content each Monday at 5 p.m., as well as on Facebook andTwitterWreck the Vote will gather students for the last presidential debate viewing party on Monday, Oct. 22, at 9 p.m. in the Student Center Theater.
