The Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communication’s Political Polling Program
Franklin Pierce University
The Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communication offers numerous programs with a commitment to providing students with outstanding educational experiences in professional environments. Student volunteers and interns have immersed themselves in the political polling process. The University has partnered with the Boston Herald to carry out a polling program that allows students to participate in survey design, data collection, analysis and media relations – all while working to create a statistically-valid product with solid news value. The Fitzwater Center hosts a national conference for high school media on The Presidency and the Press. Students explore an array of opportunities in communications, media, and politics through hands-on learning with state-of-the-art equipment and technology at the Fitzwater Center, connecting with communication networks that reach constituents on campus, within the region, and beyond to the national arena.
