According to CNN, the former campaign managers for President Obama and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) are working together to set up a political communications center at the University of Delaware.

Both David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager, and Steve Schmidt, McCain’s, attended the school but didn’t graduate. Now, they’re in the process of finishing their bachelor’s degrees.

They’re also developing a curriculum for the center, which will combine “political science, communication, marketing, sociology, and other subjects,” according to CNN.

Plouffe is scheduled to give a speech tonight at the university.
