UHCL: UHCL Wins Two National Awards For Campus Voter Engagement

Jan 7, 2022

becoming more actively involved with issues like climate change, social justice and

has risen significantly.

"UH-Clear Lake has recently become a participant in the National Study of Learning,

at Tufts University," Khan said. "In fall 2021, we received a report from NSLVE that

provided detailed information about the voting behaviors of our different student

populations, including the method of voting and voter turnout."
