Citizenship

Being a civically engaged citizen is a key part of civic engagement. These are some ways to grow as a citizen:

Register to vote in Corvallis or your hometown. Check out OregonVotes.org to learn all about registering to vote while you’re a student at Oregon State.

To find other political student organizations click here.

Write a letter for social change. Contact your Senators or Legislators.

Consider Public Service. Find information about the application process and follow recent alumni currently serving the country through AmeriCorps , Teach for America and the Peace Corps, as well as options for serving in ROTC.

Give blood. Find upcoming blood drives and other ways to help at OSU Blood Drives check out the OSU Blood Drive Association.

Newspaper Readership is another easy way to be civically engaged. The New York Times and USA Today focus on college readers and are a great place to start.
