Our project
During one week in January/February 2006, C-SPAN is teaming with Cox Communications, its San Diego affiliate, to create a unique educational experience for students at six local high schools. C-SPAN has invited leaders from a variety of fields to "return to the classroom" at schools in Cox Communication's service area to discuss leadership and their commitment to public service. C-SPAN cameras will record the events so these lessons in leadership can be shared with students across the country, and with C-SPAN's national viewing audience.

The dates
Events take place January 30-February 2, 2006.
Events air February 6-10, 2006 at 7pm PT on C-SPAN2.

Highlights
· 4 days, 6 schools, 6 leaders... and hundreds of San Diego high school students.
· The C-SPAN School Bus will be at events for production.
· Programs will take place in a small venue within the school, and consist of a question and answer session between students and the leader. Invited speakers are asked to discuss why they do what they do; in other words, to talk about their career path, decisions they made along the way, advice they would offer to young people today.
· C-SPAN cameras will cover all events. Each event will air on C-SPAN2 and will be archived at the website, studentsandleaders.org.
