Hartford, CT - The hotly contested Connecticut senatorial race is in full swing with only two candidates remaining and Election Day fast approaching- Or is it? On the eleventh anniversary of September 11, we headed to the University of Hartford campus to gather students memories about the attacks and opinion’s on the upcoming senatorial election. While students were able to vividly remember where they were 11 years ago today – impressions about the upcoming senate election were much vaguer.
Despite the millions spent on seemingly ubiquitous political advertisements, the majority of the students had very little interest in either candidate, if they were able to name the candidates at all. It is important to note that many students come to the University from out of state, and were quick to offer up their feelings about this year’s presidential election, even if they weren't quite sure when it is taking place.
