BOCA RATON — The presidential debates are officially over, though commentators will continue to analyze each candidate’s strategies for weeks to come.
Highlights of the 2012 election campaign along with slogans, and memorable moments in US campai
gn history are on display in the library at Lynn University in Boca Raton. Lynn hosted the third presidential debate of the 2012 campaign season.
The exhibit, sponsored by NCCI, was unveiled at Lynn University’s Eugene M. and Christine E. Lynn Library and features a Palm Beach County electronic voting machine from 2000, historian John Clark’s memorabilia, American Studies Professor Robert Watson’s personal collection and original illustrations from political cartoonist Chan Lowe.
Lynn University’s President Dr. Kevin M. Ross, along with Dr. Watson, spoke at the exhibit opening.
“Hosting a presidential debate on campus provides Lynn students with a front-row seat to history, and what better way to bring the history of debates to life than through our new presidential debate exhibit,” said Watson.
“Thanks to the generosity of individuals from the community, we have over a century of campaign buttons, political cartoons, inauguration invitations, and other items to use in bringing that history to life and better telling the story of presidential elections.”
The exhibit is open and free to the public and may be viewed Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 1 to 8 p.m. The exhibit runs through Monday, January 21.
NCCI is the nation’s most comprehensive source of workers compensation information.
