Program Description
Voter Education Day rallies students on political issues, introduces them to community voices, and even allows them to meet some candidates.
This event was headed by Professor Beth Ginsberg (Political Science – Stamford) in 2016 as a serving learning project, continuing it in 2018 and again in 2020, to expose students to such organizations as the NAACP, Stamford Business Council, and Moms Demand Action, in addition to politics. Groups sets up tables with literature in the campus’s concourse and students wend their way through during the day.
