“The Bully Pulpit Series: Reflections on Presidential Communication” asks the individual presidential candidates to speak with students and Charleston community members on such topics as the frequency of press conferences, the candidate’s relationship with journalists, and the power of the president to persuade. This non-partisan series is a joint effort of the College’s Department of Communication and the Department of Communication Advisory Council.
