Cultivating a Culture of Civic Engagement and Democratic Learning: Examining Institutional Responses to the California Student Civic and Voter Empowerment Act (AB 963)
ABOUT THE RESEARCH
In this study, Alex examined institutional responses to the California Student Civic and Voter Empowerment Act (A.B. 963), investigating the nature and scope of efforts across the three segments of public postsecondary institutions in California: California Community Colleges, California State Universities, and Universities of California. The project’s findings are relevant to colleges and universities inside and outside of the state of California, highlighting promising practices and identifying barriers to structuring and advancing campus-wide nonpartisan civic engagement. Alex also prepared a resource guide and sets of recommendations tailored for various audiences informed by the experiences of Civic and Voter Empowerment Coordinators across the state of California.
