American Democracy Project

Lander University has an active chapter of the American Democracy Project (ADP), an American Association of State Colleges and Universities initiative to encourage student civic engagement. The Lander ADP promotes civic engagement through regular voter registration drives, speakers, Constitution Day events, the New York Times readership program, and the Student Organization of the Year Award for Civic Engagement.

The Lander ADP is currently pursuing a Civil Discourse Initiative that strives to facilitate respectful dialogue and tolerance for diverse opinions on “hot-button” topics in and out of the classroom. University professors from disciplines across campus participate in the Initiative and contribute to vibrant conversations and activities to encourage good citizenship.
