Civic Engagement

Welcome!

The UTPA Civic Engagement Initiative is a non-partisan student, faculty and staff driven voter registration effort. The goal is to encourage UTPA community members and their families to be politically empowered and involved in their prospective communities. It is about each one of us becoming aware, having a voice and making a difference.

As you navigate this Web site you will learn more about upcoming events, how you can register to vote and where you can sign up as a volunteer.
