Faculty Resources
Syllabus
As you know, one of the fundamental ways faculty can establish community norms is through syllabus language. It’s also one of the few avenues that provides access to all enrolled students. Embedded resources like the blurb below or including the QR code not only educates and reminds students, but it helps normalize voter engagement on campus!
- Example: Butler University encourages and hopes to prepare all of its students to be civic minded and engaged citizens. Students can easily check their voter registration status and register to vote at butler.motivote.us regardless of the state or county they are voting in. Please note, college students are eligible to register to vote with either their home address or at the location of their school. Any student looking to learn more about civic engagement, the U.S. political systems, or explore the many resources related to civic education that Butler offers, should visit the DawgsVote website. If specific questions arise, please contact the Office of Service and Community Engagement in Atherton Union 306 or reach out to the Executive Director, Caroline Huck at chuck@butler.edu.
