<p>I believe Northwestern University provides resources to undergraduates that are often overlooked. My daughter was involved in a pilot program-NU Decides- that recently had their findings published in the journal used by Political Scientists, and civic leaders. Most articles published are selected from graduate thesis’ and professors-not-undergraduates.
Maybe others can share there first hand knowledge.</p>
<p>Do you think the way in which candidates will seek the votes of college students will change in light of this new study just published?</p>

<p>EVANSTON, Ill. — College students make strategic choices about where to vote, most prefer absentee ballots, and they are especially likely to vote absentee if their homes are in swing states, according to a new Northwestern University study of student absentee voting in the 2008 presidential election.</p>
<p>The findings are published today (Oct. 1) by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University’s Tisch College.</p>
