Titan Votes Campaign
To the IWU alumni community
From Wah Chook '22, Student Senate Civic Engagement Commissioner
Tomorrow is National Voter Registration Day! My name is Wah and I am kicking off the Titan Votes campaign in collaboration with IWU's Athletics Department. We want all of the IWU community to get registered and motivated to vote.
As part of our campaign we are asking for people in the IWU community to send in their voting pictures, email them to iwusports@gmail.com, use #titanvotes2020 on insta, tag @iwusports or @iwusenate on Instagram. Make sure your selfies do NOT include a fill-in-ballot; selfies with your "I voted" stickers is exactly what we are looking for! We will be creating a video out of all the pictures we get.
You're also encouraged to use our Titan Votes filter on Facebook, it is titled "IWU Titan Votes 2020."
I am including a handful of resources:
Thanks a bunch, let's get voting!
