Activation Plan

Below is an overview of some campus activities: 

• Robust and ongoing voter registration outreach to all students, but especially first-year students during their first fall semester, to educate students about their voter registration options and assist them in following through on their registration process. 

• Maintaining and developing partnerships with nonpartisan civic engagement organizations and local governmental organizations such as the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, the Montgomery County (PA) Voter Services Office, the League of Women Voters of Lower Merion & Narberth, and the Pennsylvania Student Voter Coalition to provide civic learning and volunteer opportunities for student voters. 

• Providing Get Out the Vote (GOTV) support for every election by providing pre-election prep workshops, a free shuttle service between campus and our polling place, and a voter support station to answer questions on Election Days.  

• Projects for Peace: Bryn Mawr College is one of 106 collegiate partners offering a $10,000 summer grant to students to fund a peacebuilding project anywhere in the world. Projects for Peace is designed to encourage students to think critically about the nature of peace and conflict and their role in influencing change in communities. Through our participation in Projects for Peace, Bryn Mawr students expand their world view through collaborating with communities across difference and learn how to work with others to solve thorny social problems.  

• The Career & Civic Engagement Center is collaborating with the Impact Center for Community, Equity, and Understanding to bring an outside group to campus in Spring 2025 to facilitate an activism training for undergraduate students. After collecting feedback from students, the planning group will invite a skilled facilitator for an intensive training experience followed by continued support to provide additional guidance to students as they begin to practice their organizing skills.
