Student resources for civic engagement: [ Ссылка ]
Some 138 million Americans voted in the 2016 presidential election, a number that is surely an impressive figure by any metric. That number, however, only accounts for 60% of our country’s eligible voters. A full 40% of eligible voters did not turn out to the polls at all in 2016. Even for those who do, voting is a minimum of civic engagement. This panel discussion explores how students, and all Americans, can participate in more robust civil and civic engagement in service of our communities and our country, and how Baylor alumni and staff can use their education and affiliation to improve our political world.
