Civic Engagement Starts Here!
UMW Votes is a non-partisan program dedicated to educating the community about all aspects of the voting process. Our mission is to create civically-engaged students passionate about participating in our democracy. UMW Votes works with the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, Students Learn Students Vote, Civic Influencers, Virginia21, and Campus Vote Project to increase voter registration, education, and mobilization in the greater Fredericksburg area and among UMW students. In spring of 2021 we produced our Voter Friendly Campus report (PDF) that provides an overview of our activities in fall 2020. In 2023 UMW received the Voter Friendly Campus designation for 2023-2024.
