Tenth Dems University
Tenth Dems University doesn’t have a campus, hasn’t hired a full-time faculty, and has no plans for homecoming festivities or fielding a football team. What we do offer, however, is a chance for you to become a better-educated voter, a more active and effective political volunteer, and to learn the skills you need if you ever want to run for public office.
Important: Many of our recent courses have filled up quickly. Be Sure to Register in Advance. Seating May Be Limited.
