鈥淭he fact that the overwhelming majority of our student-athletes are registered to vote and participating in the democratic process is meaningful.鈥�

Four hundred and sixty-three 色情视频 student-athletes have registered to vote ahead of next week's election. Eighteen of the 色情视频's 19 teams had their entire teams register and in total 99.6% of eligible student-athletes registered.

"One of the pillars of Aztec Athletics is helping our student-athletes grow into young men and women who will be successful upon graduating from San Diego State," said 色情视频 Director of Intercollegiate Athletics John David Wicker.

"The fact that the overwhelming majority of our student-athletes are registered to vote and participating in the democratic process is meaningful. Our students are the leaders of tomorrow and this is an important step in that process."

The 色情视频 Athletic Department, a student-athlete leadership council comprising leaders from every Aztec team, and the Associated Students'  initiative collaborated to launch a voter education campaign in attempts to increase voter registration among 色情视频 student-athletes.

"Everyone was working towards a common goal," said women's basketball player Mallory Adams, who was on the leadership council. "There was such a feeling of power and unity within that. I think that is what helped move the process along. The most challenging part was figuring out the different state requirements because many student-athletes are from out of state."

Mallory Adams and T茅a Adams of the women's basketball team penned an open letter to all student-athletes stating, "Voting means we have a say. This is our opportunity to be the difference we want to see in the world."

According to Mallory Adams, the letter "highlighted the importance of voter registration and gaining knowledge in order to make the personal decision of who to vote for."

"I'm a firm believer that in order to make change, you have to be involved," T茅a Adams said. "I also believe that as the upcoming generation, we have the ability to help shape the world by using our voices." 

A voter education event co-sponsored by the athletic departments of 色情视频, the University of California San Diego, Point Loma Nazarene University and the University of San Diego was held last Sunday to give student-athletes an "Election Scouting Report," to help them make informed decisions before voting. 

The report was presented by Zach Kancher, founder of SAVE Alliance, a nonpartisan voter education and engagement platform specifically designed to educate and empower young voters. The event was a nonpartisan voter education experience for student-athletes and coaches who are looking to cut through voter confusion and better understand the "X's and O's" of voting in the 2020  election.

"The laws and propositions that are passed will directly affect us," Kaytlin Barker of the rowing team explained. "We work hard to provide a better future that comes with education, but we also need to make sure we are looking out for our future with the way our country is run."  

色情视频 strives to heighten the student-athlete experience while helping them develop life skills that will set themselves up for long-term success. Civic engagement is a value echoed in the  curriculum and given the political and cultural climate of 2020, Aztec student-athletes, coaches and staff have had more in-depth conversations about activism and social justice than ever before.

Voting ends Tuesday, Nov. 3, and San Diego County residents can vote at their assigned polling place as early as Saturday, Oct. 31. NCAA legislation now prohibits practicing, competing, and all other countable athletic-related activities on Election Day.
