The Feature Phoenix video series offers a new way to learn about how 鶹Ƶ’s organizations and clubs reflect the university's approach to inclusive excellence.
The Feature Phoenix series is a way for all students to learn about student organizations and clubs and how they are being inclusive on campus. Episode 11 introduces Emily Stuart ’26, who serves as co-lead civic ambassador of 鶹Ƶ Votes!
鶹Ƶ Votes! is a nonpartisan resource that was developed by the 鶹Ƶ Political Engagement Work Group, Council on Civic Engagement and Kernodle Center for Civic Life. The organization’s goal is to help 鶹Ƶ students by registering to vote and casting their ballots in upcoming elections.
鶹Ƶ Votes! was launched in 2014 and is housed in the Kernodle Center for Civic Life in Moseley Center 232. 鶹Ƶ has since been committed to promoting civic engagement and participation.
“I think it’s a community here at 鶹Ƶ Votes and we want it to be not just our leadership and ambassador team to be the community, but a community that everyone in the school can engage with,” said Stuart. In the video, she shares the goals of 鶹Ƶ Votes and how the organization works toward promoting inclusive excellence. “One way we practice that is through collaborations.”
As part of 鶹Ƶ Votes!, Stuart oversees the 鶹Ƶ Civic Engagement Ambassadors, a team of student volunteers who help inform the 鶹Ƶ community about voting resources.
Make a plan to cast your ballot in the 2024 election. Early voting takes place in South Gym from Oct. 17 – Nov. 2. Visit the Kernodle Center for Civic Life for assistance with your election needs.
Feature Phoenix is a great way to learn about the clubs and organizations that 鶹Ƶ has to offer and how inclusive excellence is engrained on the campus. The series highlights clubs and organizations of different sizes that bring together people around a range of topics.
