Testimonials

“You Can Vote has been an excellent partner. As an instructor of UNCW’s First Year Seminar course, I’ve really appreciated the valuable voter registration information provided in You Can Vote class presentations as well as the dynamic way they engage with students. As a member of the FREED planning committee — a group on campus working to prepare UNCW students to become engaged, informed participants in democratic practices — I’m excited to be working more closely with You Can Vote in the upcoming fall to help students reflect on what it means to be an informed, critical member of their community.”

W. Scott Leroy, Assistant Director of Student Community Engagement, UNCW

“North Carolina A&T State University is excited to partner with You Can Vote for the U Can Vote Campus Challenge. This challenge is designed to spur voter engagement among participating campuses across our state and recognize those showing the most growth and best performance in voter engagement. N.C. A&T State University has a robust history of civic engagement intertwined with the civil rights movement, and we take seriously this commitment to voter registration and education within our campus community. Through this partnership with You Can Vote—a nonpartisan nonprofit organization committed to voter education, registration, and empowerment—our students will continue to use their power to enhance the quality of life for themselves, the citizens of North Carolina, and the nation.”

“On behalf of Wake Tech, I’m pleased to join other colleges and universities across the state in the U Can Vote Carolina Campus Challenge. We believe this friendly rivalry will help drive student voter engagement in a non-partisan way, as part of a broader effort to inform and educate students across all our campuses. As an institution of higher learning, we recognize the value of civic education in helping our students soar to the heights we know they can and will achieve. We look forward to energizing our student body and partnering with You Can Vote to encourage strong voter participation in the year ahead.”

"As an alum of UNC-CH, and the proud mom of a Dukie, we are steadfast supporters of North Carolina’s higher education’s efforts to promote civic education and engagement. Never before has student voting rights and turnout been more important! We are thrilled to support the launch of the NC Campus Challenge - and we hope it stimulates all college campuses in NC - and nation-wide - to cultivate civic-minded students who care deeply about our democracy.”
