TUTV will air DNC 2016 coverage in partnership with Temple Update starting this Sunday. But what is the purpose of political convention? Though we see them covered by the media, we may not understand their importance nor what delegates and politicians have gathered to accomplish. Temple asked Political Science Department Chair Robin Kolodny to break it down for us. Check out the video to learn what happens at political conventions in the United States.
Tune in to TUTV this Sunday, July 24 at 7 p.m. to see a preview of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. We’ll be airing coverage every night of the convention next week. Watch us on Comcast 50/Verizon 45 within city limits or online everywhere.
Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for a behind-the-scenes look at Temple students covering the DNC.

The newest episode of Bouncing Back with Lisa Bien seeks to educate viewers about Alzheimer’s, an incurable and little understood disease of the mind.
Lisa brings two guests to the set of her show who have personal experience with the disease. Brigid Smith, a Marketing Specialist for the Temple Health system, has had two grandparents diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and describes how the disease impacts caregivers. Nancy Venner–a Broadcast Journalism Temple alumna and the Senior Director of Philanthropy for the Delaware chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association–provides scientific and physiological insight into the disease and answers many common questions, including explaining the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s.
To see this episode, tune in to TUTV on Comcast 50/Verizon 45 or online on Wednesday, June 1 at 12:30 and 8:30 p.m.
