The initiative, led by national nonpartisan organizations Fair Elections Center’s Campus Vote Project (CVP) and NASPA—Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, held participating institutions accountable for planning and implementing practices that encourage their students to register and vote in 2020 elections and in the coming years.</p> <p>The mission of the Voter Friendly Campus designation is to bolster efforts that help students overcome barriers to participating in the political process. Our campus was evaluated based on a campus plan co-authored by Assistant Vice President of Student Life Adrian Bautista and Director of Student Life Auxiliary and Special Projects Wayne Wood which focused on how we would register, educate, and turnout student voters in 2020; how we facilitated voter engagement efforts on our campus; and, a final analysis of our overall efforts—all in the face of the upheaval caused by a global pandemic. The designation is valid through December 2022. </p> <p>As part of our effort to be designated a voter friendly campus, �鶹��Ƶ College saw huge collaboration involving a multifaceted approach to statesmanship and the November 2020 General Election. Athletics’ Yeo The Vote targeted voter registration for all athletes, <a href="/oc-votes">OC Votes</a> was introduced and continues to coordinate and sponsor programming, and a host of departments and offices—from Political Science to Student Union—organized and scheduled events to educate and engage.</p> <p>Meredith Raimondo, Vice President and Dean of Students, notes that "�鶹��Ƶ's commitment to becoming a Voter Friendly Campus demonstrates our deep and continuing commitment to helping students become engaged participants in U.S. democracy. Our political system depends on the rigorous examination of diverse perspectives, which is also critical to the academic and artistic mission of the College."</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-03-09T12:00:00Z">Tue, 03/09/2021 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Communications Staff</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=3494">OC Votes</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Office of Communications</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>This Week in Photos: Debate Watch in Wilder Bowl</h1> <p>ygay — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 19:17:45 +0000</p> <span>This Week in Photos: Debate Watch in Wilder Bowl</span> <span><span>ygay</span></span> <span><time datetime="2020-10-12T15:17:45-04:00" title="Monday, October 12, 2020 - 15:17">Mon, 10/12/2020 - 15:17</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The virtual watch parties in Wilder Bowl—which began with the first presidential debate earlier this month—are part of <a href="/oc-votes" target="_blank">OC Votes</a> programming.
