Tom Oliphant and Susan Spencer at club "Pod Jaszczurami"

Students in Krakow and Katowice engaged in lively discussions on the US elections with two of America’s most prominent political journalists, Tom Oliphant and Susan Spencer.  Tom Oliphant, a long-time columnist with the Boston Globe and a regular contributor to political television programs, spoke with students at the University of Silesia and Jagiellonian University.  His wife, the Emmy-award winning CBS correspondent Susan Spencer, met with students at Tischner European University and KSW Krakow University College.  Tom Oliphant and Susan Spencer appeared together for a public discussion about the elections at Krakow’s famous student club, Pod Jaszczurami.  Both Susan Spencer and Tom Oliphant were delighted by the students’ interest and knowledge about the US elections.
