C-SPAN’s award-winning, 45-foot customized Bus will visit ������ý���� on Nov. 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. The C-SPAN Campaign 2016 Bus visits schools, universities and political events across the country to engage students, educators, civic leaders, and the community through on-board multimedia technology that showcases C-SPAN's programming and resources dedicated to showing the American political process.

The event is the latest in a series of non-partisan events at ������ý���� designed to increase awareness and student voting rates. Other on-campus events have included a registration drive, social media challenge and voting rights rally.

The Bus highlights C-SPAN’s signature "Road to the White House" coverage of Campaign 2016, which has provided access to all of the presidential candidates without editing, commentary or analysis and will culminate with the inauguration of a newly elected president on Jan. 20. Through interactive exhibits, visitors will learn about the public affairs network’s in-depth coverage of the U.S. Congress, White House and federal courts.

"In this unprecedented election season, C-SPAN has given viewers a front-row seat to an unpredictable campaign," said Steve Scully, C-SPAN's senior executive producer and political editor. "Our 'Road to the White House' programming began in 2014 with the early campaign announcements, the town hall meetings and rallies, as well as the policy speeches, party conventions and the presidential debates. We offered a balance by focusing on all of the major candidates, and it will be our same approach as we prepare for 2020."

Civics and government educators will also learn about C-SPAN’s free comprehensive online educational resources including C-SPAN.org, C-SPAN Classroom, and C-SPAN’s nationwide documentary contest, StudentCam, open to students in grades 6-12. Visitors to the Campaign 2016 Bus will experience the following through engagement with C-SPAN representatives and on-board interactive technology:

• Campaign 2016 App populated with candidate video from the campaign trail
• In-depth public affairs programming and educational resources
• Touch-screen quizzes on C-SPAN and the three branches of government
• Mobile devices demonstrating C-SPAN resources on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and mobile apps
• HD cameras and production equipment capable of producing public affairs programming aboard the Bus
