Civic Engagement Letters

The students in a freshmen “Liberty” class each wrote a letter to either a local, state, or national politician on a social issue that they personally felt was important to them. The Honors College then mailed the letters after faculty worked with the students to professionally write and edit their letters.

Community Outreach, Event

This project was created to tie into Constitution Day and the office of Student Involvement’s Big Event, which asked students to write about how UMSL can be a better neighbor in North County..

Impact

It is important that the students feel that they have a voice and this project was an engagement element where their voice could be heard by those that make political decisions. It is the students' hope that the politicians to whom they wrote will either fight for the social change that the students endorsed, or maintain their position on the social matter that is important to them.
