Campaign College is a day-long training held on the college campus that teaches college women how to run for and win student government positions at their schools. The training covers skills such as how to mobilize your constituency, how to craft your message, and how to speak and present yourself confidently as a candidate. The Campaign College staff bring in outside experts to speak to the students, as well as current and former student government officials from the college where the training is taking place. The Campaign College training addresses the disparity between the high percentages of women in colleges and universities and the low representation of women in student government. With Campaign College, we want to give more young women the valuable experience of running and serving on student government, as there is a clear connection between service in student government and future political service.
