Campus Initiatives

The Big Sky Athletic Conference announced that across the campus athletes would not play or practice on Election Day to give student-athletes the time to vote. As part of this effort to be All In for Democracy, Weber State University is the lead campus to create a community of practice across the Big Sky that engages and educates our student-voters

The Ask Every Student national initiative uses the framework that full student engagement in our democracy depends on person-to-person voter registration. Weber State University is one of 31 campuses that is creating content to support campuses in asking every student to vote this year when person-to-person contact will be almost impossible in a virtual environment.

The Voter Friendly Campus designation program as started in 2016 through a partnership between Campus Vote Project and NASPA. Weber State University is one of 250 institutions that applies for the designation and has earned it every time it has been awarded. Weber State University is one of three institutions in Utah, Southern Utah University and the University of Utah are the other two, that has received the designation. In 2016, Weber State earned a Bronze and in 2018 earned a Silver.
