Campaign College is the only program in the country that encourages and trains young women to run for student government on their college campuses.
About Campaign College and Our Partners
AAUW, American University Women & Politics Institute and Running Start are pleased to bring Campaign College to college campuses across the country. In 2010, 10 college/universities will be chosen as sites for the training.
