Ask Every Student Codesigner Cohort
The Ask Every Student initiative’s Codesigner Campus Cohort program is a diverse group of students, faculty, and campus staff leaders from across the country who collaboratively design innovative tools and resources for campuses to use to implement strategies that ask every student at their institution to participate in the democratic process in a nonpartisan way and ultimately achieve full student voter registration of eligible students. Through a human-centered design process, each Codesigner adapts an existing resource from the Ask Every Student Toolkit or develops a new resource aligned with the Ask Every Student Framework.
Since 2020, 42 total campuses have participated in the Codesigner Cohort program, across three cohorts.
