Swearer Center for Public Service

Brown Votes

Brown Votes is a nonpartisan, University-wide, collective impact initiative committed to fostering democratic participation across campus and beyond.

Housed initially as a student group within the Swearer Center, Brown Votes transitioned to a University-wide collective impact initiative in 2021. Now, with joint participation from students, faculty and staff and the Swearer Center, Brown Votes streamlines voter initiatives at the University by providing a hub for resource-sharing, communication and coordination.

Swearer Center staff members work directly with the Civic Engagement (CE) Fellows and the Brown Votes student group to develop and implement strategies, initiatives and communications aligned with Brown University’s civic engagement priorities.
