How to get involved as
faculty & students
Faculty/Staff
Encourage civic engagement on campus in any capacity you'd like
Thank you for your interest in getting involved with Democracy Day! We'd love to hear about you, your interests, and your visions for what the day should look like this year.
We're so grateful for faculty support, since Democracy Day was founded in partnership with the Faculty Senate!
Some Tips, if you only have...
-
One minute: Mention Democracy Day to your students or add it to a syllabus or newsletter.
-
Five minutes: Point your students toward a specific event rather than the schedule at large. Specificity is what drives turnout. You can find our event options here.
-
Ten minutes: Discuss how your department could get involved in Democracy Day at a department meeting.
-
An hour: Attend the keynote, drop in to Donuts and Democracy, or another event.
-
A day: Host or facilitate an anchor event, or bring your department in as a co-sponsor.
