Fostering democracy? Not exactly the mission I had in mind getting into higher ed tech. But when I joined The Chronicle of Higher Education's webinar on First-Year Student Success last week, I was amazed to see so many attendees asking about strategies for getting out the vote this fall with first-year students. Since November is less than 5 months away, here are 5 ideas that anyone can use to get out the vote with Mongoose's Cadence (or whichever messaging tool you have): 1. 🎂 DOB < 11/6/06 (Now) - Remind them they can vote this year with a link to details, whether or not they're enrolled with you yet! 2. Absentee Info Poll❓(Sep) - Find students to follow up with information on requesting absentee ballots from home with a quick "Yes/No" Smart Message 3. ^Send the Nos an ⚡️auto-reply with more details on getting registered to vote/voting locally! 4. 🏅Challenge Stats (Nov) - Send out a blast text the morning of Election Day to let everyone where to go to get their "I voted" pin to help set a new campus record. 5. It's Not Too Late! (Nov) - ⏰ Schedule a text to go out on election day in the late afternoon reminding them that polls are still open! 6. BONUS - Stuck on the message? 🪄Ask your AI Assistant to add some ✨ splash to make it stick out to your students. Let’s help our first-year (and all-year) students make their voices heard, and participate in this Great American Experiment! 👇Add your ideas in the comments below!!👇 #HigherEd #StudentSuccess #VoterRegistration #FirstYearExperience #EdTech #MongooseCadence #MakeEveryMessageCount

In light of the hateful rhetoric that has been spread over the last week, this #WelcomingWeek2024 webinar with Re-Imagining Migration and Welcoming America feels even more important. Bigotry in schools manifests in the form of bullying and harassment, creating a toxic learning environment for all young people. It's essential that we all have the knowledge and tools to speak up and be part of the solution. #education #immigration #bullying #welcoming #belonging #k12

No event had more impact on the role of trust in education than the response to and results from Covid-19 response. This report is alarming for those states earning a “C” or less. If the state government isn’t transparent about their numbers, education officials should not be shocked when parents, other policy makers, and, yes - teachers and students themselves - lack trust in the institution. The most important recommendation, in my opinion, is increase transparency. In any relationship, acceptance of accountability is a top growth factor in trust.
