ONU earns recognition for civics engagement

ADA — Ohio Northern University has been named a Voter Friendly Campus by Campus Vote Project, a national nonpartisan organization, and NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education.

The designation was made because of efforts by the university’s Institute for Civic and Public Policy to engage students in civics, efforts which yielded high voter participation on campus.

“With ONU now being considered a voter-friendly campus, it indicates that we have worked with a wide variety of student and campus organizations at Ohio Northern in order to make voting easy and accessible to all ONU students,” ONU junior Nicholas Maccani said in a statement. “This designation was only received by 20 other schools in Ohio, and about 300 schools nationwide. This indicates that we have put in a lot of effort with our efforts with Campus Vote Project to make voting easy for all.”
