November 2008: AUR was global election center
throughout election night on November 4, broadcasting both
on live TV and on the internet in partnership with Emmy awardwinning
Current TV, the first fully integrated web and TV
platform, viewed in the US, UK and Italy on SKY Television.
A Current TV crew set up a live Skype broadcast in the
AUR Computer Lab, and spent all night on Campus, together
with the AUR community. Students, staff, alumni and friends
came to take part in the broadcast, which was aired on SKY’s
channel 130. They were able to voice their opinions on the US
presidential elections live to a global audience in several link
ups with the Current TV studio.
The election watch continued until the early hours of the
following morning and was animated by a barbecue,
refreshments, and quizzes.
AUR was proud to have been at the forefront of
communication technology and recognized as a truly
international education center.
