UNIVERSITY NEWS
BALLOT BOWL 2024: WP GETS OUT THE VOTE, CLINCHES NATIONAL AND STATEWIDE
RECOGNITION
William Paterson University students stepped up on Election Day and just earned
the recognition to prove it.
This week, WP was recognized by the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge—a national
initiative—as a “Most Engaged Campus for College Student Voting.” The University
also clinched the No. 1 spot among New Jersey campuses of a similar size for its
student-voter registration and commitment rates in the November 2024 election,
announced Lieutenant Governor Tahesha Way during a statewide celebration of the
7th annual Ballot Bowl.
“It truly does take an entire community and campus-wide partnerships to make
recognitions like this happen,” says WP sociology professor Mark Ellis, director
of the University’s chapter of the American Democracy Project. “In addition to
encouraging students to vote, our campus knows the importance of providing
programs to educate them on the issues on the ballot.”
Director of Campus Activities, Service, and Leadership Donna Minnich Spuhler and
Reference and Outreach Librarian Gary Marks '10, MA '13 led ADP’s activities
this year with assistance from Matthew Mullins ’24—who has been working as a
civic engagement coordinator on campus through AmeriCorps.
All year, every year, ADP organizes programming aimed at creating graduates who
are informed members of society committed to engaging in meaningful actions in
local and global democratic processes. This year, ADP hosted numerous Voting 101
seminars—during which students were taught to vote in a real voting booth—as
well as a panel discussion covering issues on the November 2024 ballot, an
Election Night watch party, among other events.
At the watch party, Marks used an interactive map of the Electoral College to
teach students about that process and show them election results from each state
as they came in. He also created an Election Night Resource Guide, which
provided students an opportunity to create their own Electoral Map projections
and follow election results for every level of government.
Marks and Mullins broadcasted election results as they came in from different
television news outlets to demonstrate to students how the elections are widely
covered and analyzed. They also used trivia games like Kahoot and Quizlet, and
Election themed BINGO to keep students entertained, engaged, and educated
throughout an important night in American history.
SEE NEWS 12 NEW JERSEY’S COVERAGE OF THE UNIVERSITY’S WATCH PARTY HERE.
Lt. Governor Way, who also serves as New Jersey’s Secretary of State,
established Ballot Bowl—the annual statewide nonpartisan voter registration and
engagement competition—in 2017. Therein, collegiate-based teams compete to see
who can register the most voters and obtain the most commitments to vote based
on their campus size.
William Paterson had the honor of being selected to serve as the host site for
this year’s Ballot Bowl Kick-Off event on September 17 (National Voter
Registration Day and Constitution Day), drawing college students from across the
state to our campus. The Lt. Governor addressed the crowd and elected officials
from across the area took part in the celebration, which featured New York
Giants players Kayvon Thibodeaux and Bobby Okereke.
SEE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS HERE.
“Civic engagement is one of William Paterson University’s core values; we were
the first university in the State of New Jersey to require that students take a
civic engagement class. Our participation in the New Jersey Ballot Bowl—ensuring
that our students know their vote counts—is only part of how we teach our
students why and how they should contribute to our communities,” says Minnich
Spuhler.
“Let's continue to encourage our students to stay engaged in elections and in
practicing social justice each and every day,” adds Professor Ellis.
