Campaign and Advocacy Program

The Campaign and Advocacy Program (CAP) is a workshop-style program that develops students' electoral and advocacy campaign skills. Members will attend weekly meetings led by the student chair with guest speakers within the campaign and advocacy spaces.

This semester, CAP will develop students' campaign skills by analyzing the ins and outs of the 2024 United States presidential election in real-time. CAP members will hear from Democratic and Republican political campaigners, strategists, and analysts, and as a result can successfully enter the world of politics with insider knowledge on how campaigns of all sizes can be successful. CAP members are given the exclusive opportunity to build valuable relationships with the speakers and guests during program meetings, attending small gatherings focused on student Q&A. The program will provide students with a well-rounded understanding of electoral and advocacy campaign structure and strategies that prepare them to take active roles in future campaign and advocacy efforts.

CAP also encourages students to get involved with real issues that matter to them and provides guidance to students on their diverse political journeys. CAP offers a welcoming home for IOP newcomers and veterans alike!
