Congratulations to us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasing nonpartisan civic engagement is important to St. Petersburg College<\/strong>, and we have a plan to ensure that every student can participate in our democracy this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re honored to be one of 167 campuses to receive the 2026 Highly Established Action Plan Seal from @ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge<\/a> for our work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge<\/a>\u00a0recognizes colleges and universities that have earned the Action Plan Seal. ALL IN has developed this seal of recognition for higher education institutions with strong action plans to increase nonpartisan democratic engagement by promoting civic learning, political engagement, and college student voter participation. Action plan strength is determined by reviewing campus action plans with the\u00a0Strengthening American Democracy Action Planning Rubric.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are #AllInToVote!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Petersburg College has earned the Highly Established Action Plan Seal for the 2026 election cycle<\/strong> for developing a nonpartisan democratic engagement action plan based on the Strengthening American Democracy Action Planning Guide (SADG) Rubric<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to work to institutionalize and increase nonpartisan engagement in our democracy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
