Nora Rachouh ‘23 is one of only 175 college students nationwide recognized for their nonpartisan democratic engagement work in 2022.

Mahwah, NJ- Ramapo College and the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge (ALL IN) announced that Nora Rachouh ‘23 has been recognized as part of the 2023 ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll. The ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll awards college students doing outstanding work to advance nonpartisan democratic engagement at participating campuses. 

Rachouh joins a group of 175 students recognized for their voter registration, education and turnout efforts ahead of last year’s historic midterm elections. The 2022 midterm elections saw one of the highest youth turnout rates for a midterm election in the past 40 years — an estimated 23% of young people ages 18 to 29 turned out to vote. “I am honored to be a part of the ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll! I have worked throughout my years at Ramapo College in the Civic and Community Engagement Center (CCEC) and have strived to get my fellow students to recognize the importance of being politically engaged regardless of preferences.”  

“As a nursing major, Nora understands the power of healing and community. In her position as the student manager of the Civic and Community Engagement Center, Nora has dedicated herself to building community and empowering her peers to learn more about the political process and to vote in every election,” shared Karen Booth, coordinator for civic and political engagement in the CCEC.

In November, ALL IN recognized Ramapo College as a most engaged campus for college student voting, and remains committed to promoting civic engagement and the democratic process. It is what Rachouh loves most about being a Ramapo student. “The college’s interdisciplinary commitment to forming well-rounded, informed, and empowered students of democracy through the Civic and Community Engagement Center is what I love most at Ramapo. The hands-on service ignites a flame within you, creating a want for change that promotes the desire to vote. Ramapo’s commitment to integrated classes with social issues and community service through the CCEC creates knowledgeable student leaders who understand no matter what major you have or where you are planning to work, being a well-informed politically engaged adult is for everyone.”
