Be part of the community of students, staff, and faculty working to promote democratic engagement for our campus community by joining the Ohio State University Democracy Coalition!
Jointly facilitated by OSU Votes in the Office of Student Life and the College of Social Work, the purpose of this coalition is to actively promote civic engagement, with a significant focus on voter engagement, by students and members of the Ohio State University community. This group will serve as a space to share resources and work to actively increase voter engagement and education for Ohio State students.
Our next meeting will be Wednesday, August 28 from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM. We will review the resources OSU Votes provides on campus, get a primer on election conversations from the Center for Ethics and Human Values, and get updates on upcoming events.
This meeting will be a hybrid format. We hope you will join us in Stillman 115 if you are able and have Zoom available for those who want to be part of the conversation virtually. Please register and share with your colleagues!

The College of Social Work Democracy Fellowship was a student led experience to conduct nonpartisan voter engagement by leveraging relationships with agency partners. Building on the National Social Work Voter Mobilization campaign, the Democracy Fellowship provided structured support and compensation to facilitate student engagement in democracy.
