SLAB
Student Legislative Awareness Board
The Student Legislative Awareness Board is the non-partisan lobbying and education arm of the student body through the direction of the Student Senate. With more than 300 students in its ranks, SLAB seeks to encourage democratic participation on campus and serves as an advocate of students at all levels of government.
Non-Partisan Political Education
SLAB provides a number of candidate and issue forums for the student body throughout the year. SLAB is instrumental in bringing candidates to campus to meet and interact with students. Through its Issue Forums before the Student Senate, SLAB also brings relevant legislative issues before the student body.
Voter Registration
During our recent voter registration drive we were able to get more than 400 students registered to vote here in Douglas County. Our efforts are not over: During enrollment SLAB will sponsor another voter registration drive. By voting, students have the opportunity to influence public policy.
Legislative Advocacy
SLAB is active in representing students at all levels of government including the Board of Regents, Kansas and Federal Legislatures, Lawrence City Commission and other executive agencies. Key issues this year will be tuition, citywide transportation, student rights, and quality of higher education in Kansas.
The Student Legislative Awareness Board is proud to co-sponsor this voter guide with the University Daily Kansan.
