Walsworth, Cofer, students participate in "Big Switch" March 27
On Tuesday, March 27, Rep. Mike Walsworth will be furiously taking notes during class, while a 蜜桔直播 student is managing a state representative鈥檚 duties during 蜜桔直播's "Big Switch."
Of the swap Walsworth said, "Sometimes the public and the media concentrates more on politics than public service. My hope for 'trading places for a day' is that it might give insight to the public service side of being a state representative."
The swap is part of 蜜桔直播's 17th Annual Big Switch, a free event that allows students to swap schedules with a campus or community leader from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. The 31 Ambassadors, 蜜桔直播's alumni student-service organization, sponsors the event.
