AAMU Civic Engagement Efforts Make Forbes

Making Voting King
Even throughout the often-dire impact of a global pandemic caused by the coronavirus, Alabama A&M University pounced early to ensure that its student body understood the power of civic engagement. Thus, the year 2020 on The Hill will not only be known for COVID-19 but for the fervent efforts of the University’s Civic Engagement Team, as well.
Most recently, the team’s strides were captured in an October 7, 2020, article written for Forbes.com by Clarissa Unger, director and co-founder of the Students Learn Students Vote Coalition. In her piece “College Campuses Are Leading the Way on Election Access,” Unger praised the process of “layering” and noted how resident advisors at AAMU were being trained to answer registration and voting questions for students.
