This is me looking on in awe at Barack Obama. He came to Coe in the fall and MTV sponsored a national broadcast with Coe students asking him questions. It was awesome. I'll admit I am a little high on Barack and have met him four times now and even spoke to him on the phone once.
Because it was an MTV event, Sway was one of the moderators. The picture is a little blurry, I know, but I have a picture with Sway, how cool is that!
About a month after Obama visited Coe, then presidential hopeful Rudy Guiliani visited. It was at the end of finals when no students were at Coe, so unfortunately not many people came, but that meant I got a front row seat and even got to ask him a question!
This fall was cool for political junkies like myself. In addition to Barack and Rudy, we had John Edwards (twice), Bill Richardson and Chris Hughes on campus. (Chris Hughes is one of the founders of our beloved Facebook and fellow Barack-lover)
This is me with Senator Tom Harkin on the steps of the capitol building. The spring of my sophomore year I did an internship in his office in Washington D.C. Coe's program there is amazing. I lived 2 blocks from the capitol and went to work in the Senate four days a week -- not too shaby.
