Highlights

Voter Engagement Student Ambassadors Are Encouraging Students To Get Involved One Class At A Time!

New Faculty Program: Roadrunner Reps

MSU Roadrunners - Voter Engagement Student Ambassadors

In the Fall of 2025-2026, Undergraduate Studies received a small grant from Students Learn Students Vote to fund a student worker to engage Roadrunners in American civics and democracy, as well as some funding for a faculty program called Roadrunner Reps which encourages faculty to integrate democratic values into their courses.

For the 2023-2024 Fall and Spring semesters, Undergraduate Studies received grant funding from the Community First Foundation and the Denver Foundation to for a team of student workers to conduct voter engagement work on campus and in the greater Denver community.

For the 2022-2023 Fall and Spring semesters, Undergraduate Studies acquired grants from the Rose Foundation and the Ask Every Student organization. The group of Voter Engagement Student Ambassadors (VESAs) conducted educational panels, media interviews, and worked to bolter the Roadrunner voter turnout.
