Young Democrats and Young Republicans

Both organizations seek to promote education about important political topics and disseminate information about their party’s position on these issues. Activities of these organizations have included attendance at political rallies and fund-raisers, dissemination of campaign literature and participation in get-out-the-vote campaigns. In addition, members have worked at precincts on voting day, held campus debates and forums, sponsored speakers and submitted editorials to the campus newspaper.
 
“As Past-President [of Young Democrats], I believe I learned a great deal about leadership, cooperation and the importance of community involvement. I was also given the opportunity to make important contacts within my chosen political party and without. Now more than ever students need to be aware of local, national and world issues, as this is a global society. Young Democrats is the perfect forum to debate these issues. I also greatly enjoyed the opportunities I had to work closely with administration and faculty of many disciplines. One does not need to be a Political Science major to join or be President of Young Democrats – they just should have an open mind and be willing to work with others to achieve the goals set out in the group's charter.”
