In light of Tuesday’s presidential election, MBU Timeline’s Basic Reporting and Writing for Journalism class conducted spot interviews asking students and faculty around the main campus either, “What is something you want to say to our next president?” or “What problem areas would you like to see our next president focus on?” These are their responses.
