Initiative partnered to establish the Voter-Friendly Campus program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Voter Friendly Campus program&#8217;s goal is to help institutions develop democratic engagement action plans that coordinate administrators, faculty, and student organizations in civic and electoral engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This designation is awarded to institutions that continued their efforts, even during a non-national election year, to break down barriers and empower students with the information and tools they need to participate in the political process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This work undoubtedly played a part in the tremendous youth voter turnout in the 2022 elections and opened the door to lifelong civic engagement for their students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campuses were evaluated on their ability to complete a multi-step process, which included engaging a coalition of campus members from staff, faculty, students, community organizations, and local election officials to develop a written plan for how the institution would engage student voters in 2022, facilitating voter education and engagement efforts on campus, and writing a final analysis of their efforts reflecting on what worked and what to change going forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The institutions designated 2023 Voter-Friendly Campuses include a wide range of two-year, four-year, public, private, rural, and urban campuses that collectively serve over 3.5 million students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notable statistics of this cohort include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>71  institutions joining the program for the first time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>49 Minority Serving Institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>13 Historically Black Colleges and Universities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>41 Community Colleges <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about how you can get involved in non-partisan voter engagement, please contact the Center for Civic Learning and Community Engagement by emailing Tara Newsom at <a href=\"mailto:newsom.tara@spcollege.edu\">newsom.tara@spcollege.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Center for Civic Learning and Community Engagement is proud to announce that St. Petersburg College has earned the Voter Friendly Campus Designation for 2023-2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":584,"featured_media":2822,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,80],"tags":[],"coauthors":[15],"class_list":["post-2821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-civic-education","category-webapproved"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>SPC Earns Voter-Friendly Campus Designation - Center for Civic Learning &amp;
