Oakland University Center for Civic Engagement

We're excited about this great event at Oakland University!

Hey, Oakland University students... Are the candidates running for office talking about issues you care about? Tired of no one addressing the topics on your mind? Our next Your Vote Town Hall with WDIV Local 4 News/ClickOnDetroit is only a week away. Come by and get your questions answered. We'll gather in the #OaklandCenter's Winter Garden on October 29 at 12:30. Those off campus can stream us on Local4+. Christy McDonald will moderate a discussion with OU Professors Nicole Asmussen Mathew and David Dulio.

#ElectionDay is almost here.    Michigan remains at the epicenter of competitiveness at the national level in campaigns for president, US Senate and US House.    Our state is the talk of national pundits and analysts, but they often don’t have a feel for what’s happening on the ground or for the more localized dynamics that are impacting these critical races.    Our next WDIV Local 4 News/ClickOnDetroit Your Vote Town Hall event will add local flavor to the national analyses. Join WDIV’s Christy McDonald and OU Political Science Professors Nicole Asmussen Mathew and David Dulio as they delve into the key factors that are shaping the race in the final days of the campaign.   Stop by the Oakland Center on Oakland University’s campus or stream us on Local4+.   Registration is not required, but appreciated if you are going to attend in person.

We're four weeks from #ElectionDay. That means we're about three weeks from our event with Donna Brazile and Karl Rove that will examine the campaign in Michigan. Roop Raj from WJBK-TV FOX 2 Detroit will guide our guests through a conversation about how our state will impact who's in charge of the federal government starting in 2025. The race for president is close and will remain so. The US Senate race is tightening. There are multiple competitive US House races. In short, you don't want to miss this event.

Not only do we have Donna Brazile and Karl Rove coming to campus at the end of October to talk about Michigan's importance in this election cycle, we've got the illustrious Roop Raj from WJBK-TV FOX 2 Detroit as our moderator for this discussion. Register here: https://lnkd.in/giZGt_59

We're proud to announce that Oakland University received more national recognition for our #CivicEngagement work. This time it's from ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge for our important nonpartisan democratic engagement work during the 2022 Midterm Elections. More here: https://lnkd.in/gqnGHz5k “This recognition would not be possible without the buy-in from OU leadership, including the President and Board of Trustees,” said David Dulio distinguished professor and director of OU’s Center for Civic Engagement. “But the real congratulations goes to the students. They are engaged and active participants in their democratic society. We look forward to their engagement as the 2024 election cycle concludes later this fall.”
