The College Democrats brought Congresswoman Diana DeGette to AU Tuesday to address the student body about stem cell research. DeGette serves as the Democratic Party's chief deputy whip and is an advocate for lifting the limitations placed on stem cell research by President Bush in 2001. "By addressing the students of American University, Rep. DeGette is helping to foster intellectual debate surrounding stem cell research beyond the confines of the House chamber," AU College Democrats President Lisa Petak said in a press release.
