Middle Tennessee State University has been recognized as one of 192 universities nationwide to receive a 2024 “highly established” rating from the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge. The nonpartisan organization encourages colleges and universities to promote student democratic engagement.
MTSU’s recognition is based on its comprehensive Civic Action Plan for the 2024 election cycle, which earned 31.5 out of 36 possible points. The university stands as the only Conference USA institution to achieve this honor in 2024.
“We’re proud of the external recognitions we receive from our national support partners because the awards serve as an encouragement to keep pushing and upping MTSU student voting,” Mary Evins, coordinator of MTSU’s American Democracy Project chapter said. “It’s always a work in progress, and we continue to need to better ourselves, but of course, we appreciate receiving some pats on the back along the way.”
The Civic Action Plan, developed by various campus stakeholders, provides a strategic framework to increase student voting participation.
