American Democracy Project (ADP) is a network of more than 250 state colleges and universities focused on public higher education’s role in preparing the next generation of informed, engaged citizens for our democracy. This Lightning Session will discuss the various national and local initiatives and strategies from digital polarization and college-community engagement and deliberative dialogues to voter education and engagement, and share some of the results of the work to equip students with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and experiences they need to be informed, engaged members of their communities.
ADP was established in 2003 as a nonpartisan initiative of AASCU in partnership with The New York Times and member institutions serve 2.5 million students in 46 states.
