Idaho State University

Idaho State University has been selected as one of 10 Campaign College sites for 2010. Campaign College offers a day-long training that teaches college women how to run for and win student government positions at their schools.

Funded by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), the Women & Politics Institute and Running Start, this unique workshop leads the way in addressing the disparity between the high percentages of women in colleges and universities and the low representation of women in student government. Campaign College is the only program in the country that encourages and trains young women to run for student government positions on their college campuses. (more…)
