College students in the United States have a rich history of participating in activism work to make their voices heard. In the campus setting, students have a favorable atmosphere to gather with peers based on a common interest relating to various social, political, or environmental issues, and these issues often intersect. Campus activism can be used to prompt political change, increase awareness of specific issues, or to create social change. Student activists can use their organizing efforts to impact policy or program change within their own university or they can work to influence change at the local, state, or even federal level.
