Beginning in the Fall of 2021, AppVotes in conjunction with the Office of Community-Engaged Leadership will host a Voter Coalition. So, what is a Voter Coalition? The goal of the coalition is to increase civic engagement on campus every year through activities such as educational presentations, voter registration parties, and getting people to the polls. You can expect 1-2 meetings per month, opportunities to educate yourself and your peers on the democratic process, and to help engage everyone on our campus in voting. Interested in joining? Email appvotes@appstate.edu to get started!
You have to be 18 to vote, which means a lot of people’s first time casting a ballot is in college.
That’s why Appalachian State University's Director of the Office of Community-Engaged Leadership Heather Jo Mashburn says higher education institutions should support them in doing that.
“We believe that we have an important role to play in preparing our students to participate in a democracy," she said. "And doing that very intentionally and in a disciplined way to be nonpartisan is really our goal.”
