CState CEEP Fellow promoted voter engagement

Cincinnati State student Christy Hicks hosted a “Voter’s Treat” event on Oct. 28 to encourage students to learn about the importance of voting.

Christy is a Nursing student and is CState’s current representative for the Campus Election Engagement Project (CEEP).

As a CEEP Fellow, Christy has been working since August to provide information about voting to students via email, games, and events.

CEEP is a national, nonpartisan project that helps faculty, staff, and student leaders at America’s colleges and universities engage students in federal, state, and local elections.

For the pre-Halloween “Voter’s Treat” event, Christy transformed into Willy Wonka. As seen in photos above and below, she distributed candy bars to drive-through visitors, including some “Golden Ticket” candy bars that could be exchanged for a gift card.

For more information about how to become a CEEP Fellow, students should contact the Student Activities Office.
