Group Project: Register citizens to vote in voting drive
The Deputies are formed
New Blog Title: The Deputy's Log
Group Project – Project Design
Team Name: The Deputies
After defining in class what it takes to act as model citizens, our group has determined we will engage our fellow citizens by attending public events & open-to-the-public locations frequented by the student & professional population. Our goal will be to implement civic awareness & increase civic participation in the political process. While we understand not every individual we encounter may be willing to register to vote, our intention is to make an impression & inform our local population on the importance of civic engagement & how it can make an impact in your community.
Our group project will consist of the following components:
