*The nonpartisan ClemsonVotes coalition will be providing ideas and resources to faculty and instructors throughout the fall 2020 semester via the Clemson Teaching Listserv.
Clemson’s own Dr. Bridget Trogden had an op-ed published in the Civic Nation feature of Forbes last week – “Making The Case: The Role Of Faculty In Student Voter Engagement.” It makes the argument for nonpartisan voter engagement in the curriculum and in faculty work with students across multiple disciplines.
