Mount St. Joseph University has been recognized by the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge(ALL IN) as a 2024 ALL IN Most Engaged Campus for College Student Voting. The ALL IN Most Engaged Campuses for College Student Votingrecognizes colleges and universities for outstanding efforts to increase nonpartisan student voter participation. The Mount joins a group of 471 colleges and universities recognized by ALL IN for completing four core actions:

• Participating in the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge
• Sharing 2022 NSLVE Reports with campus voting data with ALL IN
• Developing and submitting a 2024 democratic engagement action plan with ALL IN
• Having a current signatory to ALL IN's Higher Education Presidents' Commitment to Full Student Voter Participation.

"The research is clear: Colleges and universities that make intentional efforts to increase nonpartisan democratic engagement have higher campus voter registration and voter turnout rates. This year we saw more colleges than ever before step up their efforts to ensure that their students were registered and ready to make their voices heard at the ballot box," said Jennifer Domagal-Goldman, Executive Director of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge. "These Most Engaged Campuses are setting the standard for nonpartisan civic engagement work for colleges and universities across the country."

The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge empowers colleges and universities to achieve excellence in nonpartisan student democratic engagement. Campuses that join the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge complete a set of action items, with the support of ALL IN staff, to institutionalize nonpartisan civic learning and voter participation on their campus. The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge currently engages 10.8 million students from more than 1,075 institutions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

"We're thrilled to be recognized by ALL IN for our commitment to student voter engagement," said Director of the Career & Experiential Education Center, Amanda Meeker. "It's a testament to the hard work of our students, faculty, and staff. By empowering our students to participate in the democratic process, we're not only fostering civic responsibility, but also preparing them to be active and informed citizens."
