Hello from the Hilltop!
Hill of A Vote is a team of students from St.Edward’s University dedicated to leaving a impact in the community. The team was created to develop a social media for social good campaign. Among all five members, we all agreed that voters rights and reaching out to young voters was what mattered to us. Through this campaign, we hope to leave a lasting impact by informing voters, encouraging them to vote, and helping them see the change their vote makes.
