Civic Engagement Resources

Project Pericles's civic engagement resources are for faculty, across all disciplines, who are interested in: civic engagement course syllabi, community-engaged learning, deliberative dialogue, nonpartisan voter education, and addressing voter suppression. These resources can also be adapted by staff and educators in contexts beyond higher education. ​

When resources are used together, students can see the connections between the issues that affect them, their elected officials, the impact of their vote, and how they can combat voter suppression.

​​These resources were developed in collaboration with faculty members in our Periclean consortium and more than 50 additional institutions, in addition to the Students Learn Students Vote (SLSV) Coalition.
