Barack Obama will visit campus Wednesday to promote his new jobs plan and to make one of his first speeches since the beginning of the campaign season. Departments across campus have made plans to rearrange facets of day-to-day University operation — transportation in particular.
Obama will be the first president to visit campus since it hosted Ronald Reagan in 1985. Reagan spoke on how Americans would give less of their earned money to the government; Obama’s jobs plan asks for tax breaks for the less fortunate, and increased taxes for the affluent.
Below is a rundown of everything hopeful attendees need to know.
