Six members of POWER, the non-partisan political activism organization on the AIC campus whose mission is to raise awareness regarding current issues and get students thinking about politics and the world around them, are in Washington, DC to participate in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The four day annual conference is attended by conservative activists and elected officials from across the country.

The conference, founded in 1973 by the American Conservative Union and Young Americans for Freedom, began as a small gathering of dedicated conservatives that has grown to include thousands of attendees annually. In recent years, roughly half of those in attendance have been college-aged men and women.

With the political season moving full steam ahead, this year is especially energized. The group will have the chance to hear some of the GOP primary candidates speak, including Ted Cruz.

While in the nation’s capital, the students will make time for sightseeing. A trip to the national monuments, Holocaust Museum, and American History Museum are on the agenda. While the College underwrites conference attendance, students fundraise throughout the year for side trips. In February, POWER members were on the receiving end of a pie throwing contest, raising $57 in support of their trip.

All those in favor, say “Aye!”
