Join ALL IN
Are you interested in understanding and developing CSU’s commitment to democratic engagement on campus and beyond? Join the ALL IN Student Committee through SLiCE. Details below. If you have questions or would like to participate, reach out to Julia Pratt at [email protected].
What is ALL IN?
The ALL IN for Democracy Challenge is a national initiative connecting institutions of higher education in their missions to promote democratic engagement on campus and beyond. Campuses opt in to the ALL IN challenge and create democratic engagement action plans every two years. These plans are then evaluated over the course of two-year periods ahead of the creation of new action plans. You can look at CSU’s history with ALL IN here.
ALL IN and CSU
Student Leadership, Involvement, and Community Engagement houses the work of creating and evaluating ALL IN action plans for CSU. This process is largely archival, meaning we collect information on what folks are doing (and what they plan to do) across campus (and in our community) and compile it. We also help connect folks interested in democratic engagement work to resources and other campus and community partners that may be helpful. We track this data by keeping our ears to the ground, staying engaged in our campus and community, and doing intentional outreach to partners.
ALL IN Student Committee
Introduction the AISC. This will be a small working group of students assisting with the data collection and outreach process associated with ALL IN. Students will reach out to campus and community partners to pulse check their efforts surrounding democratic engagement. They will then help keep our documents around those partners updated so that we have the most accurate information to build out our ALL IN action plans. Students will be assigned specific partners to outreach to OR categories of partners to build out and gather novel data on (e.g., community partners). There are specific data points we are interested in collecting from partners, which will be shared with committee members ahead of outreach.
Campus Updates
Ram$ for Change is a unique CSU program that combines community service with fundraising opportunities for student organizations. CSU Rams (students, faculty, and staff) are matched with local Service Providers such as community nonprofits and university departments for pre-planned service projects. These projects are designed to help you quickly create meaningful connections while making a direct impact in the local community. RSOs with SOFA accounts earn $20 per volunteer (for example, a team of 5 volunteers would earn $100 for their RSO). You can participate individually or as part of a Volunteer Team, and spots are first-come, first-served, so act fast to secure your place and commit!
