Centre College President John A. Roush addresses the Debate Hall in the moments before the beginning of the Vice Presidential Debate on Oct. 11. Accompanying Roush in the clip are Centre Democrats President David Miller ’13 and Centre Republicans President Luke Wetton ’14.

“To those who know Centre, and those who will come to know it, our selection to host this general election debate is no surprise,” Roush says. “It has long been part of Centre’s story—its DNA, if you will—to achieve beyond expectation. That attitude lives in all that we do.”
