The 2020 Students Learn Students Vote Coalition (SLSV) award has been presented to the Michigan Department of State for demonstrating the guiding principle of Collaborating for Greater Impact.
“Students of all ages and their organizations, schools, colleges and universities across the our state have been crucial partners with more than 1,600 clerks, tens of thousands of election workers and countless other nonpartisan organizations that helped Michigan carry out its safest, most secure election ever, which drew record-breaking turnout,” Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said, according to Michigan.gov. “Democracy is a team sport, and I am so impressed with and grateful to the many students and others who showed up to play for Michigan on Nov. 3.”
SLSV also recognized campus organizations with awards.
“We know that there is power in numbers. As a coalition, we believe in rising together, giving credit where credit is due, and letting the voices, needs and lived experiences of communities guide our solution building,” said Clarissa Unger, Director of the SLSV Coalition, according to Michigan.gov. “The Michigan Department of State perfectly exemplifies the principle of Collaborating for Greater Impact.”
