A Note from the
CAS
C Staff:
|
Greetings CASC'ers,
With the elections being less than two weeks away we encourage you to make a plan to vote! Research shows that students who are registered often don't vote because they haven't made a clear plan, one that includes the location of polling places and how to get there in the midst of busy lives and schedules. The Michigan Secretary of State Office is a valuable source for voter information.
Although the Michigan voter registration
deadline has passed there are still some states where out of state students are still eligible to register to vote online. You can find deadlines and other information based on states here.
Additionally, w
e are currently offering an opportunity for students to engage the life, legacy and work of James and Grace Lee Boggs by being part of the James and Grace Lee Boggs Center Tour visit in Detroit on November 2. For more information check out the CASC News section below. We hope you can make the events. Don't miss out!
