When:

Why:

The many activities are jointly sponsored by Associated Students Inc. and Public Affairs and Government Relations to help prepare campus and community members for the November election.

The goals, said Frances Teves, director of state relations and advocacy, are to: educate students about the importance of voting, the political process and the issues in this election; help register new voters; and to encourage voters to continue to make their voices heard.

Activities are scheduled in the Titan Student Union, Becker Amphitheatre and the Quad on the Cal State Fullerton campus.

Activities:

  • Sept. 18 — Voter mobilization and registration continue, in conjunction with the 7 p.m. address: “A Free Press in the Age of Terror: How Much Does the Public Really Need to Know?” by New York Times writer Eric Lichtblau, in the Titan Student Union.
