Marquette University Law School Educates Voters by Live Streaming Political Conversations via Sonic Foundry's Mediasite
School conducts voter surveys and leads discussions with policy makers to inform voters, raise awareness during election season
MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- From voter polls to live political debates to conversations with faculty and policy makers, Marquette University Law School webcasts important political conversations live to the public via Mediasite by Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NAS: SOFO) , the trusted market leader for video management and academic, enterprise and event webcasting.
Marquette University Law School's "On the Issues" conversation series with Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow in Law and Public Policy and the host of the statewide public affairs television show UpFront with Mike Gousha, educates the public on important election issues. Newsmakers and policy shapers visit the university to interact with the public, students, faculty and staff about the hottest topics in the Milwaukee region and beyond. Gousha acts as the interviewer, moderator and facilitator to address these important topics before an in-person audience, and the events are also webcast live and archived for on-demand viewing.
Since the series began in 2007, nearly 100 Mediasite presentations have been recorded and archived. One of the most recent webcasts took place October 17 and discussed the Marquette Law School's latest poll of voter attitudes in the tightening presidential race in Wisconsin. Earlier this year, Gousha was joined by guests such as U.S. Senate candidates Tommy Thompson and Tammy Baldwin, and Wisconsin Congressman Ron Kind.
