The Wenonah JAG Chapter recently hosted a voter registration drive in collaboration with the Upsilon Eta Omega Graduate Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc..
This event provided eligible students with the opportunity to register to vote and take an important step toward civic responsibility. As part of the celebration, each student who registered received a cupcake to commemorate their 18th birthday and this significant milestone into adulthood.
We are proud of our students for embracing the importance of civic engagement and grateful for our community partners who support leadership development and service.
Thank you to Chick-Fil-A Gardendale for sponsoring and to Board Member Antwon Womack for joining in the festivities! #SuccessStartsHere
