Political Song-a-Palooza | Peer-to-Peer Review By Andrew Dudash and Rebekah Hill Our initial goals were to create a unique outreach event for our communities; give students, faculty, and staff an outlet for creativity and civic engagement; and provide student internship opportunities grounded in experiential learning.
