Join the Civic Engagement Alliance Today!
Facilitated by TX Votes, the CEA is a network of organizations, institutions, and departments on campus, partnered to increase voter registration and education on campus. Our goal is to aid each member organization in registering their members to vote, provide nonpartisan election information, and support any events centered around civic engagement. We have an array of member organizations, some politically-inclined, some not. Along with student organizations, the CEA also includes institutional programs, like schools, official UT athletic teams, honors programs, etc.
Join the CEA or update your student organization's 2020-2021 membership information by simply filling out the following form: https://bit.ly/CEAJoin. Email CEA Chair, Mahi Perla, at mahiperla@gmail.com if you have any questions!
