Johnson 203

Campaign Semester participants remain fully enrolled at Occidental and earn a full semester of college credit (16 units) for volunteering full-time in a Presidential, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, or gubernatorial campaign for 10 weeks during the fall semester. After Election Day, students return to campus and participate in a five-week seminar that involves reading and discussion in order to put their campaign work in a broader context. Join us for this information session to learn how to get involved in the 2024 election cycle.

Yuriko Romer is a San Francisco-based award winning director. She will be discussing her film Diamond Diplomacy: 

"Deep devotion to the game of baseball has been tossed between the U.S. and Japan since its opening to the West in the late 1800's, and mirrors profound shifts in diplomacy between the two nations. Diamond Diplomacy charts this 150-year story revealing pivotal moments of an often-controversial duality that has existed throughout this history."
