  • Engage the Vote Acampus Voting Action Plan,2020
    SUBMITTED FALL 2019 ENGAGE THE VOTE A CAMPUS VOTING ACTION PLAN, 2020 COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS Good citizens do things: they speak out, they vote, they volunteer, they organize. But to do those things well, citizens need to know things. Civic action requires civic knowledge. Russell Muirhead Resuscitating Civic Education (2012) Hoover Institute, Stanford University Introduction Increasing rates of civic illiteracy and disinterest in civic engagement plague our nation’s colleges. However, research shows that the earlier individuals embrace civic knowledge, as well as experience community service firsthand, the more likely they will become civically aware and engaged in voting and volunteerism throughout their lifetimes (Hollander and Burack, 2008). Engage the Vote: A Campus Voting Action Plan, Fall 2018-Fall 2019 provided a first-time effort of College of the Canyons (COC) to create a long-term, sustainable campus wide plan to increase voter engagement. This document provides an updated and revised action plan for 2020. The objective of this plan is to engage the entire campus community in greater civic awareness, especially regarding voter education, registration, and participation. Civic engagement is a concept which describes those philosophies and activities which bridge thought with action and provide meaningful service to communities. As Thomas Ehrlich (2000), former Carnegie Foundation Senior Scholar suggests, civic engagement means: “working to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference. It means promoting the quality of life in a community, through both political and non-political processes” (Ehrlich, 2000:vi).
