Engaging Students: First In the Nation is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, and Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, New Hampshire, focused on educating and engaging students and the public regarding the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire Primary during the 2008 presidential election cycle.


Feature: Scholars Program
A core group of students—10 from each college—will participate in this program. Students will take a specially designed, four-week course taught by faculty and staff at both colleges during the summer of 2007.

The scholars will travel to each campus to observe and participate in the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary for first-hand experience with both processes.

Scholar representatives from each campus will attend the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention to provide live reporting.

Each campus will develop and offer courses related to the project that will include scholars and non-scholar students.
