For our first installment of Night at the Museum this academic year, we revisited our partnership with Hawk the Vote and hosted another iteration of "The Art of Voting." Similar to last year, we used our student event this month to encourage students to register to vote with Hawk the Vote; we provided a super cool voting-inspired art activity; and had some snacks and drinks available for attendees.
