Takamira Williams, a University of Baltimore senior and a student fellow with both the Andrew Goodman Foundation and UBalt's own Hoffberger Center for Ethical Engagement, is featured on WJZ-TV in a video about the University's latest successes in encouraging voter participation at the student level.
"I just know how important it is to get the youth out" to vote, says Williams, in an interview broadcast earlier this week.
WJZ notes that UBalt is nationally recognized for its work in voter turnout.
Most recently, the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge honored the University with a Gold Campus award for having both the highest voting rate for a four-year institution and the highest voter registration rate for a four-year institution, for efforts the University made during the 2022 election cycle. It's the third time since 2016 that UBalt has been so recognized.
