Politically Exchanged

During the height of U.S. political-campaign season, 20 Brazilian university students descended on NC State's campus in hopes of experiencing U.S. democracy and culture, as well as the elections process on the local, state, and national levels. As part of a unique program hosted by the Global Training Initiative (GTI) at NC State University, the students took in a number of undergraduate classes, rubbed elbows with U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole, participated in a downtown Raleigh rally for Barack Obama and even saw the sights and sounds of the N.C. State Fair before they heading off to Washington, D.C., for the rest of their stateside visit.
