What is "Elect Her"?

Running Start, the non-profit organization that runs the Elect Her program, brings campaign training and real-world experiences from currently-elected officials to college campuses across the U.S. The participants are led through several modules to enhance their understanding of the importance of women in office. 

  • Students will talk among their tables in order to figure out what issues are most important to them.
  • Q&A session with some of the members of the Student Senate Cabinet. 
  • A panel featuring elected officials from the West Michigan area.
