Students in Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg’s Journalism Workshop, led by Professor John-Erik Koslosky, set out to talk with young people who will be voting in their first or second presidential election. Rather than ask who they are voting for, the Young Voter Voices Project aimed to learn what matters to these would-be voters and how their perspectives have been shaped. President Joe Biden has called the youth vote — often defined as those 18-29 — a key driver of his victory in 2020.

Maureen Corrigan understands when you read and review books for a living, people will have their opinions. "I have maybe 40 chances to review a book (in a year). We can't read everything. I think we're afraid of any judgment these days," Corrigan said. Corrigan is NPR's longtime book critic and Fresh Air contributor. She appeared before a live audience at Wilkes University's Dorothy Dickson Darte Center last month during the university's fourth annual LitFest celebration.
