Media Center and the Debate

The national spotlight was on Case as over 1,500 members of the media arrived on campus for the debate. News conferences preceeded the big day, and numerous interviews with students, faculty and administration kept the national attention on our campus. Television audiences for the debate alone were estimated to be about 65 million viewers (photos: Mike Sands).
