David Hench Senior | Mass Media Communications “Yes, because it’s a way that we get our voice heard. It’s a small way that allows us to make a difference in the larger picture, even though it doesn’t seem like it. I [also] think it’s important to vote on the local level.
See Soccer A4 Sabreigha Dixon Senior | Political Science “Absolutely I think it’s important to vote. It’s important to voice your opinions and ensure that your opinions are being carried out by someone.”
Brianna Jones Freshman | Vocal Performance
“I believe it’s important to vote because you wouldn’t want anyone to decide your future for you. You wouldn’t want anyone to decide what you eat, what you wear, where you go, what you drive. So if you want to make your own decisions, you should go vote.”
Frank Hocker Freshman | Theater “It’s very important to vote because there’s a lot of things that are going on and if you don’t vote, you could be that one person that is needed to vote, so you could change everything. If you don’t vote, then you’re just letting things happen as they come – go vote.”
Savannah Biss Junior | Pre-Law “I definitely think it’s important to vote, especially in the current political climate. You have people like Luther King and Desmond To saying things like, ‘This is the time to activate yourselves.’ I’m very passionate about the socio-political and where we stand with race issues and issues of sexism, so it’s time to activate yourself. And vote down the ballot too, so don’t forget, [it’s not only] Trump or Hillary – there are four candidates.”
