“How do you literally sit here and defend your place at the University, when you know we didn’t do anything wrong — at three in the morning?”

Q&A: Sarah McBride, a Delaware State Senator, addressed members of the University community on Wednesday, Nov. 17 in a virtual event coordinated by the School of Public and International Affairs.
