ABOUT

Politically Active is a nonpartisan student-run group. We are focused on improving the political literacy of Ozarks Tech students. Young adults often rank lowest in political awareness and participation. We volunteer and donate the least. Many of us don’t know terms like “pro-life” and “pro-choice,” how the legislative process works, or how to vote.

Our goal is to increase the political knowledge of as many Ozarks Tech students as possible. Events we will hold include:
• Political events
• Voter registration drives
• Invite key figures in local, state, and national politics to speak with us directly

Again: we are nonpartisan. We do not promote any political party or individual politicians. Our aim is to connect the community with our campus and engage our campus with the community.
