Election Day – Tuesday, Nov. 8 – is fast approaching. I urge everyone who is eligible to vote to exercise this important right and responsibility. Make your voice heard.
As the late Congressman John Lewis said, the vote “is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have to create a more perfect union.”
At CC we are rooted in critical thinking, courageous conversations, civil discourse, and creative and collaborative problem-solving, all in the quest to build a more just world. We prepare students to be informed, active citizens, lifelong voters, and engaged community members.
In the last election, CC students stood out for their voting: According to the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement, Colorado College’s student voting rate increased to 84.6% in 2020, a rate for which we were awarded the Highest Voter Turnout in a 4-year institution in Colorado by the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge. That’s fantastic.
Let’s continue that trend. Find out how to register, vote, and how to get involved in campus get-out-the-vote efforts on the CCVotes page on the CCE website.
Sincerely,
