Donald Trump Heading to New England College

Business mogul and potential presidential candidate Donald Trump will lead his first Town Hall meeting at New England College Monday, April 27. This free and public event will begin at 3 p.m. in the Simon Center Great Room, 98 Bridge Street, Henniker. Seating is first come-first served and will be open to the media.
 
The event is sponsored by New England College’s Center for Civic Engagement, which leads numerous Town Hall events, political debates, and a nationally-reported Polling Institute. The audience is expected to be a mix of students, political clubs, and voters interested in hearing from one of many candidates considering a run for president. Trump has yet to announce his candidacy, inviting speculation that this small college in NH could be the forum for an unexpected and unscripted announcement.
 
“We’re thrilled to host Mr. Trump,” said New England College Provost Mark Watman, who will lead the formal welcome. “Faculty and students in our business, history, and political science programs are especially excited to hear from such an accomplished and public celebrity. We know his visit will attract a significant audience and would be honored to have him formally announce his candidacy alongside our students.”
 
As a college known for providing experiential and hands-on education, New England College students will introduce their guest, assist with the question and answer session, and help manage event logistics. "New Hampshire is known for its unique access to candidates, and New England College has done just that for its students,” said student Amanda Biundo. “It gives aspiring politicos like me the opportunity to really experience politics beyond the classroom."
 
Trump has spent his career building award-wining hotels and golf courses worldwide. He is the Emmy-nominated star and co-producer of the reality television series, “The Apprentice,” and “The Celebrity Apprentice.” Trump co-owns the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA Pageants. The Donald J. Trump Signature Collection and Trump Home Collection includes tailored clothing, dress shirts, ties, cufflinks, eyewear, furniture, mattresses and accessories.  In addition, the iconic potential presidential prospect has authored over 15 books, including his first, "The Art of the Deal," which is considered a business classic and one of the most successful business books of all time. In 2007, Trump received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he is among the highest paid public speakers in the world.
