This session will be conducted by the Students Learn Students Vote Coalition (SLSV) and focus on how to prepare students to vote in the November 2020 Elections especially as it relates to the impacts of Covid-19. With a number of colleges and universities not in person in the fall, typical voter registration efforts will not be available. How can these efforts be adapted to online environments? How can universities encourage students to register using social media, and other online tools? What other roadblocks to registration and voter turnout should our members be providing resources to students on how to navigate? How can campuses address issues that specifically relate to under-represented minority voters? How can NASPAA encourage Pi Alpha Alpha chapters to lead the way?
National Voter Registration Day
Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. By participating in experiential learning opportunities while in school, students learn the critical thinking and data analysis skills they will need to succeed as professionals in the real-world and in the case of public affairs students, contribute to effective global governance. NASPAA believes strongly in experiential learning and the competencies students can grow when given the opportunity to test their developing knowledge and skills in relatively low stakes situations prior to graduation.
