ASU student to tweet State of Union live from White House

While President Barack Obama is talking to Congress today for the State of the Union address, ASU senior Jordan Hibbs will be tweeting, reported Christina Estes of 92.3 KTAR-FM.

"She is among 100 social media users invited to watch the speech from the White House and then take part in a discussion with presidential policy advisers," Estes reports. 

"We'll be tweeting throughout the whole thing," Hibbs said. "Being able to reach those who may not have even heard about it, I think, is really important because I think social media can connect a lot of people who may not have been actively watching the news."

Hibbs, a psychology major at ASU, told Estes that she'd like to hear President Obama address education, student debt and pay equality.

"As a senior about to graduate, it's tough still seeing there's still a difference between men and women when it seems like we're all getting the same degrees and the same skills, so why is it we're leaving college and basically have different values on the job market?"

Follow Hibbs @jordanahibbs. The address begins tonight at 7 p.m. MT.

According to Estes, White House policy advisors will also take questions from Twitter users taking part in the discussion using hashtag #SOTUSocial, as well as Facebook users.
