“Getting registered to vote is just the first step in getting #VoteReady!” said JCU Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Kishia C. James.
On Tuesday, September 17, JCU also welcomed Dr. Michael W. Waters, lead pastor of the Abundant Life African Methodist Episcopal Church in Dallas, to campus Tuesday to participate in a voter registration drive.
“It is so important that everyone eligible to vote casts a vote,” Waters said. “In the last election, nine million registered voters in Texas did not vote. Can you imagine the impact of nine million voters had they voted their conscience for the candidates of their choice?”
Waters expressed gratitude for Jarvis teaching college students about the value of their opportunity to vote.
“We’ve had a number of individuals who have registered just today,” he said. I applaud this university. I thank you for your commitment to the vote.”
