UNCW Votes Coalition
Did you know OSLE is launching a student-led election engagement coalition on campus? The coalition will be comprised of student leaders and liaison members of student organizations and departments on campus invested in the election engagement and voter discourse on campus. The Coalition will sponsor events, provide resources, and bring interested entities together to collaborate and plan strategically for the election engagement landscape at UNCW.
Stay tuned! The UNCW Votes Coalition will launch officially in November 2021.
Interested in volunteering or having your organization participate in the UNCW Votes Coalition? Email OSLE at engage@uncw.edu.
