With the election less than six weeks away, opportunities for civic and voter engagement abound on Goucher’s campus—through courses, events, and grants to support those efforts.

Associate Professor of Political Science and International Relations Julie Chernov Hwang has been selected as a 2024-25 Harry Frank Guggenheim Distinguished Scholar. Chernov Hwang will use the fellowship to build a database for conducting research on how ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiyah construct terror cells.

In partnership with the Maryland Business Roundtable, Goucher welcomed high school students from throughout Maryland for Youth Congress Day. Building on Goucher's longstanding commitment to civic engagement, Nina Kasniunas, Goucher College associate professor of political science and director of Goucher Votes, and members of Goucher's Voter Mobilization Team led a Rock the Vote session for students.

Goucher College and the Greater Baltimore Committee are proud to announce Leadership Café, a speaker series program featuring top government officials and political leaders in state and federal government, as well as business executives.

Associate Professor Nina Kasniunas took her J-term class to New Hampshire so they could learn hands-on about the democratic process leading up to the primary election.
