What is @PSUMOCKCON?

@PSUMOCKCON, is a non-partisan, mostly student-led, simulated presidential nominating convention and research project. The goal of @PSUMOCKCON is to successfully predict who the party not currently in the White House will nominate to run for President. This new tradition will occur every four years and is designed to provide students with leadership and social opportunities, create a fun new campus tradition, increase the civic capacity of students, and increase our campus visibility in our local communities.

All members of the campus community, including students, faculty and staff, join a delegation that represents a geographic region of the country.  Businesses in the community are also invited to partner with the campus by financially supporting and joining state delegations.

For the 2020 Mock Convention:

• we held delegate voting January 20-24th, 2020, to simulate the state primaries;
• we hosted a State Delegation Parade & Celebration featuring student-made floats on January 28, 2020;
• and, we held our inaugural convention on February 6, 2020, featuring a campus performance, invited speakers, and the delegate nominating convention. Our convention concluded with the prediction that Joe Biden would be the 2020 Democratic Presidential Nominee — a prediction that proved to be correct!
