Events
MAC Votes Challenge
The MAC Votes Challenge is in its first year of existence. Our fellow universities throughout the Mid-American Athletic Conference are competing against each other to see which school’s student body and athletic department best support students’ voter engagement, register to vote, and turn out to vote.
One way any student can help Â鶹¾«Ñ¡succeed in this challenge is to submit a pledge to vote. The pledge will count toward Kent State’s overall total, which is one of the criteria taken into consideration when determining the MAC Votes Challenge winner.
Flashes Vote Festival
Flashes Vote Festival is an annual collaborative non-partisan event hosted by Undergraduate Student Government to bring together student organizations and campus departments to generate civic enthusiasm and increase voter registration ahead of the upcoming general election.
Join student leaders, Flash and President Diacon for a chance to get all your voting questions answered, register to vote and grab a free T-shirt!
Date: Tuesday, Sept. 17
Time: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
