If you are looking for a way to engage and inform students on your campus about the coming election, Wisconsin Vote on Campus can help. Wisconsin Vote on Campus takes Wisconsin Public Television & Radio’s established election Web site and adds a customizable sidebar unique to each UW College campus.
On this prominent sidebar, identified with the College logo, students can connect with the locally-relevant information they need to actually get to the polls and vote. Contact information for voting and registration, profiles of the candidates that will be on their ballot, listings of local election events, and links to news coverage will all be available.
This customized local information will be side-by-side with Wisconsin Public Television & Radio’s extensive coverage, continually-updated links to election coverage from other media, and a number of innovative and interactive opportunities provided by NPR, the Newshour with Jim Lehrer, Lawrence University and American Public Media.
The project will also employ forward-looking mobile technology, feature coverage of young voters, and be a platform to highlight the contributions of your faculty.
Plus there’s an opportunity for students or student groups to be involved as content editors in exchange for grants ranging from $100 to $500. We are committed to providing a Wisconsin Vote on Campus site for each of the thirteen UW Colleges. But for this project to really make a difference on your campus, we’ll need your help.
If you’d like to learn more about what’s involved and how we can work together, please contact Andy Soth, Senior Producer, Wisconsin Public Television at 608 263-4599 or andy.soth@wpt.org.
