Join us for a screening of People vs. Politics, a documentary profiling grassroots leaders working to reform U.S. election systems. The film follows citizen-led efforts during the 2024 election cycle to advance open primaries and ranked-choice voting in communities across Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, Montana, Alaska, and Washington, D.C.
Producers and directors Robert Pease and Carol Wingard will provide a brief introduction before the screening and participate in a moderated discussion afterward. The film explores efforts to promote civility, responsive government, and greater citizen participation in the electoral process.
Light refreshments will be served.
Make yourself at home
More than 90% of the student body resides on the Hilltop, which makes sense because campus is where all the best stuff happens.

Out and About in the Queen City
Less than 3 miles away, downtown Manchester offers students all kinds of fun from concerts and baseball games to taco tours and coffee shops.
Facing Mental Health
Moving out of a pandemic and into a post-pandemic world, where uncertainty is often the only constant, a group of dedicated students and their advisor help peers recognize, navigate, and discuss the many layers of mental health.
