>> Here on the campus of northern Kentucky University students gathered last night to watch the big presidential debate between former Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the event.
Students have the opportunity to ask questions about the debate to a panel of professors.
Emily Sisca, a former KET intern runs the student-led news magazine.
The northerner and was at last night's event to capture it all.
So we saw a lot of mixed reactions.
I think.
>> Notably, you just hear a lot of chuckles throughout the event, especially at some of the, you know, remarks and facial expressions that you can see from the candidates when it came to talking about wars, you know, in Ukraine and Russia and with Israel and Palestine, people were really tuned into that.
I think that's something that for specially the college generation, we're really interested to hear more about it.
Actually learn.
What are their stance is going to be?
I think that a lot of people were.
I would say unimpressed by just the attacks on the political candidates and seemed like they were much more interested to actually hear about what the candidates would do if they were elected and when they're in office.
I believe that topics like immigration, your world peace, things like that are really important right now.
It's our generation to our students.
I think, you know, even here on this campus, we have a lot of students whose parents might be immigrants.
Are they have family members who are immigrants have a lot of international students here who might be interested in becoming a citizen are staying here.
So work.
So I think that is something that is of particular interest to our generation, especially here on in case campus personally actually been surprised by how little that I have seen people reacting to Taylor Swift's endorsement of the Harris campaign actually expected to hear a lot more people and talking about it.
But I don't know if that's, you know, because it happened so recently or just because people.
Are really trying to come to their own conclusions on income use campus.
It's largely commuter based.
There are a lot of online students and so having a space to like represent yourself politically to ask questions to try and learn more from, you know, professors and professionals who have been around to kind of seeing some of the things that are going to happen.
That's extremely important.
>> Annalisa says Nku is hosting monthly sessions to allow students to learn more about the issues of this year's presidential election.
This month's topic focuses on race.
