The C-SPAN Campaign 2012 Bus will be at The University of Scranton on Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. During the campus stop, visitors will have the opportunity to tour the 45-foot, state-of-the-art mobile production studio and to learn more about C-SPAN’s public affairs programming.

Part of a national tour that began in August 2011, the C-SPAN Campaign Bus seeks to engage and excite voters about the upcoming 2012 presidential election. The bus is equipped with touch-screen computers that access C-SPAN's websites, such as the C-SPAN Classroom and Congressional Chronicle. Visitors can also test their knowledge of public affairs with quizzes and other interactive resources, including C-SPAN podcasts and C-SPAN’s iPhone and Blackberry apps.
