On the morning of November 5, the outcome of the US elections will be the hot topic in Krupp College.

On the morning after the elections, Krupp College will screen American TV in the servery to stay up to date with the counting of votes.

At 7.30, Aramark will start serving a real American breakfast with pancakes and muffins.

At 9.45, students will have the chance to have their say. Anyone can join the moderated debate on how the election results will affect them and their home countries.

At 12.45, during the all-American lunch, Dr. Matthijs Bogaards, professor of political science, Dr. R. O. Wells Jr. and Marie Vivas will join the students in the servery for a panel discussion entitled "What for the world?".
