“Campaign-In-A-Day offers students the opportunity to understand the dedication needed to be elected as well as consider their role as a citizen to engage in the election process. Even if they do not want a career in politics, this is an opportunity for them to be better engaged and equipped citizens of America. It is certainly easy to underestimate how much work and dedication goes into running a campaign. My respect for any candidate that runs for office has certainly increased, and I only participated in a five-hour simulation."
