The national ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge is recognizing Ohio Wesleyan University as one of the Most Engaged Campuses for College Student Voting in 2024.
The 471 campuses recognized Nov. 19 in Washington, D.C., “led the way to increase nonpartisan civic engagement, boost the #StudentVote, and strengthen our democracy this election cycle.”
“The research is clear,” said Jennifer Domagal-Goldman, executive director of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, “colleges and universities that make intentional efforts to increase nonpartisan democratic engagement have higher campus voter registration and voter turnout rates.
“This year we saw more colleges than ever before step up their efforts to ensure that their students were registered and ready to make their voices heard at the ballot box,” she said. “These Most Engaged Campuses are setting the standard for nonpartisan civic engagement work for colleges and universities across the country.”
Earlier this year, Ohio Wesleyan was recognized by the organization for civic engagement with a Silver Seal award for excellence in nonpartisan student voter engagement and campus turnout in the 2022 midterm elections.
