About the Episode
We share our reflections on the midterm elections, plus some thoughts about the work ahead as we strive for even greater civic participation among college students. Learn about some of the most recent voter turnout data from CIRCLE at Tufts University, and hear three short interviews that dive into deeper detail about some of the work that went on to drive student voter turnout in the midterm elections. Interviewees include: Samantha Bayne, election engagement organizer at Iowa Campus Compact, Verdis Robinson, Campus Compact’s director of community college engagement, and Clarissa Unger, director of civic engagement at Young Invincibles.
