The celebration is being sponsored by the Lincoln College Student
Services Department.
Bridgett Thomas, Lincoln College director of student life, says
the celebration will offer students time to watch the event on a
big-screen television as well as learn more about the new
administration through some unique educational opportunities.
"We look upon this event as something that will stick in our
students' memory indefinitely," said Thomas. "Our goal is that our
students will be learning while watching as this historic moment
takes place. We've planned some games featuring trivia on Obama's
rise to the Oval Office, and we will be passing out door prizes that
include Obama memorabilia."
Judy Atteberry, student services office manager, looks forward to
seeing all the excitement from Washington. "Many of our students
voted in the past election, and it brings it full circle for them to
see the political process," said Atteberry.
The department expects to have the entire campus participate in
the event.
