Marshall University<\/h2>\n

As a designated Voter Friendly Campus<\/a> for 2021-2027, Marshall University\u2019s institutional commitment to civic learning and democratic engagement is evidenced throughout the entire Marshall Family and can be seen in our administrative, faculty, staff, and student culture. While civic learning and democratic engagement take many forms, informed citizen participation in the electoral process is one of the most vital components of successful self-government.\u00a0 Low voter registration and voter turnout rates are a threat to democracy and must be addressed from multiple angles; higher education has a vital role to play in inculcating habits of responsible citizenship.\u00a0 The institution\u2019s Mission, Vision, and Creed statements<\/a>, the basic building blocks of its Core Curriculum, its programming priorities, its civic cultural orientation, its leadership and formal structures of democratic engagement all collectively prepare Marshall to undertake new efforts to advance student electoral participation.
