VIDEO:  Facebooking the Vote: The website's co-founder helps register young voters at Drexel
 
 
Chris Hughes, the 24-year-old Facebook co-founder and multimedia guru for the Obama campaign, visited Drexel University last week to urge students to register to vote before Pennsylvania's March 24th deadline - preferably through his website. With most schools on or about to go on Spring Break, the push to get young people registered in the Keystone state is particularly urgent. Through its Drexel Votes 2008 program, the University has already registered more than 1,000 new voters this year.

Cassidy,
Another well done report. A few things production-wise might have been done a little differently to help make the piece flow better, but you've still done an excellent job of story-telling.
A good friend of our son Neil is a professor of
astrophysics at Drexel. If you do another piece on campus there, I can get you his name and I know he'd be a good interview.
Keep up your great work!
