The centerpiece of the 2024 Civic Series was Voter Fest: The Art of Civic Engagement. This arts-focused festival encouraged hands-on participation and underscored the power of voting. The festival brought together campus organizations, student clubs, faculty from diverse departments, nonprofits, and community groups. Civic-themed activities included games, a selfie station, and craft-making, such as tote decorating, button-making, and an interactive “zine” activity. The Art of Civic Engagement featured three key projects: Zine Voter Guides, a PSA Film Challenge, and a poster symposium titled “Reimagine Your Campus with the Center for Urban Ecology.” These initiatives provided participants with creative avenues to engage with civic issues and contribute to the broader conversation about democracy and community involvement.
