Post-Election Resources

Bowling Green State University, as a public university for the public good, exists to create and share knowledge, promote open debate and dialogue, and be a place where multiple views and perspectives can be weighed and considered.

Elections are exciting. Elections can also be divisive, raise emotions and may also bring about anxiety. We want to provide students with supportive spaces to articulate their feelings and experiences concerning the election. These resources can assist in our work to engage and support students.
