2008 Campus Vote Initiative and ILCC
As the next generation of leaders and citizens,
young people are a powerful force in
today's political scene. Democracy is a two
way street: today's youth has the responsibility
to educate themselves and participate in
our democracy; and also has the right to be
heard and respected by elected officials
and candidates.
Campus Compact has launched the 2008
Campus Vote Initiative to encourage higher
education institutions to help educate and
empower students and to make the process
of staying engaged easier throughout the
sometimes confusing election season.
At Illinois Campus Compact (ILCC), we are
committed to ensuring that the youth vote is
strong and present through voter education
and the empowering of young people to
encourage their peers to vote.
The ENGAGE conference is a part of this
mission. The goal of the conference is to provide
the tools necessary to get college students
from Illinois and across the Midwest to
register to vote, cast an educated vote, and
then remain engaged in the democratic process
after the November election--holding the
elected officials at all levels of government
accountable.
Attendees will receive conference materials
that include a flash drive with information,
tools and resources to be fully engaged in
the election process. |
