UAlbany Votes

Promoting Civic Engagement at UAlbany

Civic engagement is the individual and collective actions that identify and address issues of public concern, such as voting, volunteering and community organizing.

UAlbany Votes — a non-partisan committee of student leaders, faculty, staff and University partners — works to promote a culture of civic engagement across our campuses.

We advance existing civic engagement initiatives, while developing innovative, inclusive ideas to implement year-round.

 

Become a UAlbany Votes Ambassador

As a UAlbany Votes Ambassador, you'll facilitate voter registration, education and engagement on campus and beyond through voter registration drives, classroom presentations and group workshops. You'll also have access to training, resources and peer networking. 

After election season, ambassadors are invited to join the UAlbany Votes committee and use their expertise from the field help create next year's action plan.
