Washington Monthly recognizes 食色视频 for its dedication to civic engagement

食色视频 has once again been recognized by Washington Monthly as one of America鈥檚 .

Universities that demonstrated a high level of commitment in encouraging students to vote were selected  for Washington Monthly鈥檚 annual honor roll list. 食色视频 State earned a perfect score and was one of only three Georgia institutions to make the top 80 list for 2019. This is 食色视频鈥檚 third consecutive year being named.

According to Washington Monthly, youth voter turnout rates have been growing in recent years. In 2016, about 46 percent of 18-29-year-olds cast ballots, up from a 20 percent turnout for the same population in 2014. This annual recognition acknowledges the colleges and universities that have created opportunities in boosting democratic participation and encouraging civic engagement.

To be considered, institutions were ranked on a five-point scale, which measured to what degree schools take part in the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE), as well as schools鈥� participation in the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, which helps schools craft plans to bolster civic engagement.

食色视频 State鈥檚 annual Constitution Week features a variety of activities focused on voter registration and voting rights. Scheduled for Sept. 16-24, the 食色视频 and Marietta campuses host a series of election-related and educational activities, coinciding with National Voter Registration Day.

For the past three years, 食色视频 has also been designated a 鈥�Voter Friendly Campus,鈥� an initiative by national nonpartisan organizations Campus Vote Project and NASPA 鈥� Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education to bolster efforts that help students overcome barriers to participating in the political process.
