Description:
Workshop presenters, Renee Brown, Suchitra Webster, and Erin Kramer will share data and information about student democratic engagement and the student voting landscape at Michigan State University (MSU). This workshop has been designed for those who are interested in effectively integrating democratic engagement strategies in their teaching or program. Presenters will share tools for increasing and improving democratic dialogue, syllabus design, and student civic skills building.
This workshop will offer a comprehensive overview of the MSU National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement (NSLVE) Reports. NSLVE is the first and only study to objectively examine student and institution-level data on student voting and to share these data with participating campuses. There are more than 1,200 participating campuses and over 10 million student records included in this study. The NSLVE Study is produced by the Institute for Democracy & Higher Education (IDHE) at Tufts University. The presenters will highlight opportunities for continuing to improve student voting and engagement.
Opportunities for connecting to the MSU Campus Plan for Democratic Engagement (a part of the NASPA Voter Friendly Campus Designation held by MSU since the designation inception) will be shared. Input and partners will be sought for the first Annual MSU Civic Skills Conference planned for the 2023-2024 academic year.
