The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge is proud to recognize the colleges and universities that have earned the Highly Established Action Plan Seal of recognition. ALL IN has developed this seal of recognition for higher education institutions with strong action plans to increase nonpartisan democratic engagement by promoting civic learning, political engagement, and college student voter participation. Action plan strength is determined by reviewing campus action plans with the Strengthening American Democracy Action Planning Rubric.
ALL IN’s Most Engaged Campuses for College Student Voting recognizes colleges and universities making intentional efforts to increase nonpartisan democratic engagement and college student voting.
Campuses are presented Best In Class awards based upon institutional characteristics. Within each category awards are presented to the campus with the highest voter registration rate, highest voting rate and the most improved voting rate. Most improved voting rates are a comparison of presidential to presidential elections, and midterm to midterm elections.
Campuses, organizations, and individuals will be considered for awards based on established criteria. Campuses must have submitted an action plan in order to be considered for a Champion Award.
