“With the election around the corner, it is a pivotal time for students to access necessary resources to make an educated vote. By actively engaging in the presidential election, students can create a lasting positive impact on both the university and our community, while demonstrating their First Amendment right to vote. I encourage students in the CU Boulder community to actively participate in this important time for our nation.”
