CCRI earns Most Engaged Campus Distinction by ALL IN’s Campus Democracy Challenge
November 28, 2022
The Community College of Rhode Island has been recognized by the ALL IN Campus Democracy
Challenge (ALL IN) as part of its inaugural Most Engaged Campuses for College Student
Voting recognition program.
CCRI was recognized for its work to increase nonpartisan student voter registration,
education, and turnout. According to ALL IN, the 2022 midterm election yielded the
second-highest youth voter turnout rate in the past three decades.
CCRI’s work with ALL IN also dates back to the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election when
members of the college’s Pi Omicron Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) chapter worked to improve voter
registration at CCRI as part of the ALL IN to Vote program. CCRI earned second place
in the College Project Award competition at the 2021 PTK New England Region Spring
Convention for its work on the voting project, which PTK Faculty Advisor and CCRI
English Professor Laurie Sherman called the beginning of “a long-term commitment to
increase CCRI voter participation among our students.”
The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge empowers colleges and universities to achieve
excellence in nonpartisan student democratic engagement. Campuses that join ALL IN
complete a set of action items, with the support of ALL IN staff, to institutionalize
nonpartisan civic learning, political engagement, and voter participation on their
campus. ALL IN currently engages more than 9.7 million students from more than 960
institutions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
