Why Vote? Voices from the UW Odyssey Project

Current and past students were invited to submit short essays, poems, songs and artwork designed to persuade others to vote. Some will be showcased on Oct. 12 at UW’s Memorial Union for Odyssey’s nonpartisan “20 Years of Amplifying Student Voices and Celebrating Voting” in-person and online event. Partners for this event include the Cap Times, the League of Women Voters, the Madison Public Library and the Urban League of Greater Madison. The mayor has proclaimed Oct. 12 “Odyssey Day” in recognition of its 20th anniversary.
