“How do I register to vote?” is a question many college students ask, especially in an election year.  The Citizenship and Service-Learning office is committed to providing students with opportunities to become better informed citizens and voters. To that end, CASL is partnering with different entities within Missouri State University such as Public Affairs Week, Residence Life, and faculty to provide students with helpful information

 Both integrated and component service-learning students are involved in engaging their peers and community members in the 2012 voting process. During Missouri State’s Public Affairs Week, service-learning students were visible at booths around campus to promote voter registration and during this time many students took the opportunity to register to vote in time for the upcoming election.

 Service-learning students will also be participating in the annual “Into the Streets” event on Saturday, September 29^th.   During this event, coordinated by the Center for Leadership and Volunteerism, Missouri State students go out into the Springfield community to help wherever needed with voter registration. Service-learning students are excited to bring voter registration knowledge to community members and to encourage everyone who is able to get out and vote November 6th.
