Crush the Vote is a collaborative effort formed by staff from Honors and Community-Based Learning, Student Life, and Marketing, faculty from Political Science and Communications, students from Student Senate and the Political Engagement and Leadership Alliance (PELA), JCCC Trustees, and nonprofits such as the All in Challenge, Loud Light, and the League of Women Voters. This is a nonpartisan effort to increase electoral engagement among our student body.
Electoral engagement aligns with Johnson County Community College’s mission to “inspire learning to transform lives and strengthen communities.” The Crush the Vote team aims to strengthen communities through empowering students to enact change by learning about and engaging with the election.
This programming fits into our institutional learning outcome of Social Responsibility, which states: Be prepared to practice community engagement that reflects democratic citizenship, environmental responsibility, diversity, and international awareness.
