Abstract
"As the 2016 U.S. primary elections wrap up in early June, over 130 college students from across the United States will converge upon the Dominican University of California campus in Northern California to begin training as College Debate 2016 delegates. The delegates represent universities, colleges, and community colleges located in 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The Commission on Presidential Debates designated Dominican as a Voter Education Partner to engage young Americans in the democratic process and inspire them to vote in the November election. At an estimated 69.2 million strong, young Americans are a significant potential voting bloc in the 2016 presidential election."
