Representatives from every sport in the athletics department from student-athletes and staff registered. Â
"It's really important because a lot of people in our generation don't go out and register," Equestrian student-athlete Caroline Dance said. "We're trying to make it easy for our student-athletes to register to vote and represent our generation."ÂIt's safe to say our 1st Voter Registration Drive was a success! Thanks to all our awesome volunteers & campus partners @aggiesvote for making it possible.
