Surrounded by t-shirts, bumper stickers, and brochures all emblazoned with “Bernie” in blue letters, Maya Durham ’19 sat at a table near the entrance of the lunchroom hoping to convince fellow students to caucus and volunteer for Senator Bernie Sanders.

“I really like his policies on higher education, I think that higher education should be accessible even to those with lower incomes,” Durham said. “I really agree with his healthcare reforms because I think that people should be able to get health care whether or not they work for a corporation that provides it, and I agree with his stances on women’s rights.”

If students committed to caucus for Sanders they were given a free tshirt, and there were signup sheets for volunteering and canvassing on his behalf.

“I agree with Bernie’s policies and it looks good on college apps to volunteer,” Durham said.
