CLC Student Recognized as 2026 ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge Award Recipient 

The ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge (ALL IN) recognized 168 students across the country for their contributions to creating a more civically engaged culture within their campus communities. From civic learning to voter participation, these students lead by example and empower their peers to become lifelong participants in democracy. ALL IN honored Central Lakes College Staples Student Senate President Morgan Spieker on the National Student Voting Honor Roll as a leader in nonpartisan campus civic engagement. 

“At Central Lakes College, we pride ourselves on creating civically engaged students who are full participants in our country’s democracy,” said CLC Director of Student Life Erich Heppner. “This important work does not happen without students leading the way and working with their peers to encourage their involvement. One of these students is Morgan Spieker, who is, without a doubt, one of the best student leaders to ever walk our hallways. Morgan has led our voting efforts with authenticity and professionalism beyond her years. She has helped establish CLC as a leader in the voter engagement space through her advocacy to ensure all of our eligible students are aware of their duty and opportunity to vote.” 

Jen Domagal-Goldman, Executive Director of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, added “From hosting registration drives to initiating conversations with classmates in the hallway, our 2026 Student Voting Honor Roll is filled with students who exemplify what it means to be a leader in civic engagement. As college students face increasing barriers to voting while on campus, these students are making nonpartisan voter participation a lifelong habit for themselves, their peers and their campuses. We are thrilled to celebrate their accomplishments and excited to see their continued impact as we approach this year’s midterm elections.” 

ALL IN supports more than 1,000 campuses and 10 million students nationally to make nonpartisan civic engagement an ongoing part of campus life. Members of the 2026 Student Voting Honor Roll were nominated by campus leaders for their dedication and excellence in voter education, registration and turnout in 2025.
