As a thank you to our amazing volunteers for their hard work, The Emory Alumni Board and Alumni Presidents Club gathered last Friday afternoon for great food and a riveting debate by Alan Abramowitz, the Alben W. Barkley distinguished chair of political science at the College. In a presentation titled “The Outlook for the 2012 Presidential and Congressional Elections”, Abramowitz began by highlighting key issues candidates will need to address in upcoming months such the unemployment rate, the budget deficit, an aging population, ongoing military operations in three countries, a broken immigration system and growing economic inequality between classes.
