BREAKFAST CLUB ASKS “THE ELECTION: WHAT HAPPENED?”
A large group of students, faculty, staff and parents discussed the 2016 presidential contest and the election of Donald Trump at World Affairs Breakfast Club with Neal Suidan, who worked in the Brooklyn office of the Clinton campaign.

The discussion centered on what happened and included how we can lessen the disconnect between democrats and republicans, why people voted against Hillary Clinton and what we can all do moving forward.
