HPJ and Campus Organizations Bring Home the Bucks

Good news from Beckie Watercutter, the Director of Foundation, Government and Academic Grants: The Department of History, Politics and Justice, and the student organizations of Pi Sigma Alpha, College Democrats, College Republicans and College Libertarians, received an $800 grant from the Ohio Campus Compact’s Campus Election Engagement Project (CEEP) to support on-campus activities aimed at increasing student voter engagement and participation.   The funds will be used to support two debates on campus as well as presidential debate watch parties.  Non-partisan election related programming and information will be available at each event.  Professor Rob Alexander, chair of the department, is advising the ONU student organizers on this project.

These funds will help HPJ, in conjunction with College Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians, along with our award winning chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha fund events such as watch parties and student debates.

Well done to all who worked on the grant project!
