College students who planned to be at the Democratic National Convention sidelined

Noted: Lauren Yoder, vice-chair of the College Democrats chapter at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has more of a formal role with the convention, as a delegate.

Yoder, who is 19 and going into her second year at UW-Madison, said that before the pandemic hit “there was a lot of interest in volunteering … because we are in such close proximity to Milwaukee, being only an hour and a half away, we were definitely planning on getting people together … to bring together a lot of these young, progressive voices in one spot.”
