Elections: How they Work and How they are Remembered

February 15, 2022, 4 – 6 p.m. EST (VIRTUAL)

Join the McConnell Center for an engaging learning opportunity about elections and the Electoral College. Learn the past and present purpose of the Electoral College and how it functions. Then examine electoral artifacts from the McConnell-Chao Archives and Kentucky Historical Society collection to understand elections from a state and national perspective. Participants will leave with primary sources and content knowledge to integrate into their teaching. Grades 8-12. Two hours PD credit. FREE.

This workshop will be led by staff from the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville. Nan Mosher is the archivist of the U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell and Elaine L. Chao Archives. She previously served for 30 years as a member of Senator McConnell’s staff. A graduate of Western Kentucky University, Nan is a member of the Society of American Archivists, Oral History Association, and Midwest Archives Conference. Gary Gregg, PhD, is director of the McConnell Center, where he also holds the Mitch McConnell Chair in Leadership at the University of Louisville.
