PROMOTING THE VOTE

Cuyahoga Community College again earned national status as a “Voter Friendly Campus” in recognition of its efforts to help students participate in the political process. The project asks campuses to promote voter registration and voting to help students establish civic habits that last a lifetime. Overall, 231 campuses in 37 states and Washington, D.C., were recognized for their work to develop a culture of democratic engagement. Tri-C also received the two-year honor in 2019.
