The 2020 Election Comes to Campus: Student Citizenship and Civic Engagement
Colleges and universities are places where students can learn to be civic leaders. Yet data suggests that college students turn out to vote less often than older cohorts.
Many Generation Z students are eager to engage with the democratic process and are taking steps to promote civic literacy and voter turnout in their communities, even amidst the challenges of COVID-19 and a remote or partially-remote fall semester.
Join us this Constitution Day, September 17, as we hear from student leaders and other experts about their efforts to foster a thriving democracy from our nation’s college and university campuses.
