Denique Escobedo has been serving as a Democracy Fellow through the Campus Vote Project since August 2020. Eager to share her early experiences in voting, and to help peers avoid experiencing the same voter-oppression that she did during her first opportunity to participate in a national election, Denique led a small team of Democracy Fellows in educating the campus community about voter eligibility and registration, voting deadlines and precincts, and voter rights. Cognizant that not all students are eligible to vote, she also focused on educating the campus about different ways to be civically engaged beyond solely voting. Along these lines, Denique also led the charge to develop a coalition to promote student involvement in campus issues and amplifying student voices. In addition to her efforts to promote civic engagement at A&M-San Antonio, Denique wants to encourage other universities to engage diverse students in civic issues. Her conference proposal, “New Voters, Young Voters, Minorities… Oh, My!: Engaging Students through a Hyper-Local Democracy Coalition” was recently accepted for a national conference. Denique hopes to connect other minority-serving and young institutions with resources and ideas on how to engage their own campus communities in the democratic process beyond simply voting.
