Institute for Democracy and Higher Education

The Institute for Democracy and Higher Education (IDHE) is a research organization that studies how colleges and universities support active, inclusive democratic engagement among students. It examines practices like student voting, civic learning, and community involvement, providing data and insights to strengthen democratic participation in higher education. By understanding what promotes or hinders engagement, IDHE aims to help institutions create environments that encourage informed and active citizens, fostering a stronger democracy through higher education.
