Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumClinton hires Sanders' top student organizer
...Kunoor Ojha is the Clinton campaigns first major hire from the Sanders campaign, and her move to a role where she will work with the state teams to mobilize young voters represents a significant step in the former secretary of states outreach to the Vermont senators most ardent backers.
...
Clinton has thus far been unable to replicate Sanders' success with the group thats pivotal to Democrats, and the move coming as her campaign swings toward its general election match-up against Donald Trump suggests that she is looking directly at bringing Sanders backers to her side.
It also means that Clintons political effort has entered a new phase of outreach: members of losing campaigns often fold into the party nominees efforts, and Ojha who was a field organizer for Barack Obama in 2008 is the first public hire.

Hopefully Hillary's campaign's organizational strength will benefit campus outreach by this new hire in a way that actually mobilizes these voters.

One thing the Sanders campaign undeniably did well was the college outreach.
