The Higher Education and Democracy Initiative catalyzes university-community partnerships and elevates public and community-engaged scholarship that addresses pressing civic challenges. 

This election season the initiative is helping CU Boulder faculty, staff and graduate students to:  

• Secure funding through a special call for proposals to support projects that engage and educate communities external to the university on topics relevant to the 2024 election.  
   
• Learn about activities and events that faculty, staff and graduate students are undertaking with Colorado communities leading up to the 2024 election.  
• Connect with colleaguesalready working with Colorado communities on issues related to American politics, election law, voting rights and mis-and disinformation.
