Other events for election week include a presentation by associate professor and chair of the Department of Strategic Communication, Steven Seidman.

Seidman's lecture takes place Friday, October 31, at 4:30 p.m. in Klingenstein Lounge.
You will also see many Intercom announcements reminding you of various steps you need to take to successfully cast your ballot on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, November 4, you won't want to miss the "Parade to the Polls." Fifes and Drums of Ithaca will lead interested participants through the academic quad on their way to the Circles Community Room, which is the local polling location for Ithaca College and the surrounding area.
What better way to vote for president for the first time than by being serenaded by the colonial music of a fife and drum troupe? Come join the parade even if you're not voting at this location. We'll also have vans transporting students from main campus to the Circles and back.
An election results viewing party is also in the works. Stay tuned to Intercom for more information.
