The 2020 U.S. presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most contentious contests in our nation's history. Join your peers, Athena staff, and special guests -- women who have reported on elections and worked at various levels of government -- to watch the presidential and vice presidential debates and engage in lively conversation. Whether you're an American or not, whether you're a Democrat or Republican - these debates promise to be a unique opportunity to see democracy in action and to hear from guest commentators who will help us break it down and think through what it all means. These debate watches are open to all Barnard students - we hope you'll join us!

Moderator for this event is Julianna Goldman '03, an award-winning multimedia journalist, with a 15+ year career as a CBS News Correspondent and as a White House Correspondent for Bloomberg News and Bloomberg Television.
