Student Engagement Activities

All-In Campus Democracy Challenge

Johns Hopkins has joined more than 1,400 college campuses across the country in the All-In Campus Democracy Challenge, a national, nonpartisan initiative that inspires, supports, and celebrates colleges and universities working to improve civic learning, political engagement, and voter participation. JHU President Ronald J. Daniels serves on the All-In Challenge’s President’s Council and solicits engagement from fellow Centennial College presidents.

In 2019, Johns Hopkins received two All-In Campus Democracy Challenge awards after an increase in student participation during the midterm election cycle in 2018. The university earned Gold Certification—reserved for schools with a student voting participation rate between 40% and 49%—as well as a Best in Class award for the most-improved voting rate at a large, private institution. Johns Hopkins continues its commitment to democratic engagement following the 2020 Presidential Election in preparation for the 2022 midterm election cycle.

In 2024, JHU is working to:

  • Increase the undergraduate student voting rate during the 2024 primaries and midterm elections.
  • Increase the overall voting rate among all eligible students (undergraduate and graduate).
  • Continue to increase student voter registration rates annually by ensuring voter registration opportunities are available every semester, with increased attention to local elections
