2022 Election Night Party

Join Professor Matt Filner and students in his POL 305: Elections and Political Parties class as they host a special party to track the results of the 2022 midterm elections, live, as they're happening!

Students will be sharing their research and predictions on the outcomes of the elections, and we’ll all watch the returns come in together on the big screen in the Student Center's multi-purpose room.

This party is free and open to the public! No registration or RSVP necessary. Metro State staff, faculty, students, alumni, and neighbors are all welcome to swing by during any portion of the party with your families, friends, and colleagues. Light food and drinks provided.

Hosted by the Social Science Department, the Institute for Community Engagement and Scholarship, and the Metro State Votes 2022 campaign.
