April 2012: Strategies on getting your student involved in this year's elections
Begin Planning Now: November’s elections may seem far away, but the sooner you begin planning effective nonpartisan ways to help your students register, volunteer, learn about the issues and turn out at the polls, the better prepared you’ll be as deadlines approach, and the more interest and momentum you’ll build on your campus.
