Happy Week 2, Highlanders!

Are you interested in getting your voice heard by the UC system, elected officials, and other establishments? Or just become more civically engaged within a community, learn about policies, lead campus initiatives/campaigns, and advocate for student rights? Then the Civic Engagement Committee is just for you!

The Civic Engagement Committee Spring Quarter Application<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDu4XAPvYZxw5ZLc1sLoGs-4EucWs1sbkwUTurxRty-syp0g/viewform?usp=sf_link> is now available to R’students interested in leading UC campus initiatives under the Office of ASUCR's External Affairs. This Quarter, the committee will heavily focus on voter registration and voting information for the 2024 upcoming elections. Our main goal is to increase voter turnout among undergraduates and introduce comprehensive voter education reform to inform students about the influential impacts of being civilly engaged at local and state levels and why it must be utilized by undergraduate students. As a non-partisan representative body, we encourage and welcome students across the political spectrum to come together to address current issues directly impacting college students, such as student debt, expanding campus resources, and much more !!

Civic Engagement is a great way to wield our political power not only as college students but as local constituents of Riverside. Therefore, CEC’s mission is to encourage highlanders to participate in the act of voting and provide opportunities for students to stay civically engaged. Civics is key! Voting is representation!
