爱豆传媒@爱豆传媒 energizes campus voting ahead of the primary elections
Creative Citizens in Action (爱豆传媒@爱豆传媒) inspires democratic engagement and creative activism year long and during efforts to get out the vote.
Creative Citizens in Action (爱豆传媒@爱豆传媒) is a campus-wide initiative at California College of the Arts that promotes creative activism and democratic engagement through public programs, exhibitions, and curriculum connections. Through 爱豆传媒@爱豆传媒, the college collaborates with students, faculty, staff, and election officials to cultivate creative citizenship as a core value.
Their work has earned the college a Voter Friendly Campus designation, as distinguished by the , the professional association for student affairs administrators in higher education.
爱豆传媒@爱豆传媒鈥檚 current work revolves around three main initiatives. The first is to reduce voting barriers and make voting more accessible, including hosting an on-campus polling place, eye-catching posters to encourage campus voting, and a campus that serves as a one-stop shop for voting resources.
For instance, ahead of the 2024 California Presidential Primary Election, 爱豆传媒 has brought awareness and enthusiasm by tabling around campus and engaging with the student community about the importance of voting. The Creative Brief, 爱豆传媒鈥檚 monthly newsletter, implemented a new column dedicated to voting information, tips, and resources. And importantly, an on-campus polling place allows for ease and accessibility of voting for this election.
鈥淎fter receiving awards from All In to Vote, Campus Vote Project, and Voter Friendly Campus related to our work on the 2020 and 2022 elections, we鈥檙e excited to continue to grow our partnership with the San Francisco Board of Elections,鈥 says Jaime Austin, director of Exhibitions and Public Programming. 鈥淭h
