Join AASCU’s American Democracy Project in helping our campuses prepare students and communities to participate in the 2024 local, state, and national elections.
This election season promises to be one of the most contentious in American history. The divisions that are apparent in our communities and regions will be played out on our campuses. As “stewards of place,” AASCU campuses are vital sites for building a vibrant and healthy democracy, preparing students to be informed and engaged citizens and modeling for our communities free and open debate on difficult issues.
Throughout the spring 2024 term, AASCU’s American Democracy Project will convene a series of virtual education and engagement workshops as well as regional summits designed to engage faculty, staff, and administrators at AASCU campuses on topics related to voter education, engagement, and turnout.
This non-partisan initiative aims to encourage conversation, demonstrate best practices, and provide critical resources so that our campuses can build capacity and a campus culture that encourages engagement in building a strong democracy.
Voter education is defined as building knowledge, civic skills, and democratic values. Sessions include best practices to build knowledge, skills, and democratic values, informational overviews, resource spotlights, and trainings designed to incorporate civics into curriculum and co-curriculum. They are designed for faculty and staff who wish to incorporate information literacy, deliberative dialogues, and issue-based discussions into their campus during fall 2024.
