NCC Student Makes ALL IN Voting Honor Roll

Northampton Community College (NCC) and the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge (ALL IN) honored student, Chris DeLeon, as part of the fourth annual ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll. The 2025 ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll recognizes college students at participating campuses who have gone above and beyond to advance nonpartisan student voter registration, education and turnout in their communities. DeLeon is one of 232 students who mobilized their fellow students to make their voices heard in a historic election cycle.  

“I am incredibly proud that Chris is one of the students that made this voting honor roll. This is a testament to his efforts in instilling democratic values in his fellow students and leading the charge in creating informed and engaged citizens. We will continue to strengthen our community through civic learning and voter engagement,” said NCC’s President, David A. Ruth, Ph.D. 

“Whether they hosted nonpartisan voter registration drives or early voting celebrations, the students honored made sure their peers did not sleep in on Election Day,” said Jen Domagal-Goldman, executive director of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge. “With 100,000 local elections happening across the country in 2025, ALL IN students continue to ensure that everyone on their campuses has the information they need to cast their ballot. The 232 Student Voting Honor Roll honorees lead by example, making nonpartisan voter participation a lifelong habit for themselves and their peers.”  

A recent survey from CIRCLE found that 48% of under-35 youth who did not vote in 2024 heard little or nothing at all about how to vote, compared to the 15% of under-35 youth who cast their ballots. Integrating nonpartisan voter registration and education into campus life, colleges and universities can have a measurable impact in encouraging students to become active and engaged citizens. 

Through an intentionally designed program that provides structure, support, and recognition, ALL IN works to improve civic learning, voter participation, and ongoing engagement in our democracy at more than 1,000 campuses nationwide. ALL IN believes higher education should play a role in developing an active and informed citizenry by educating students, motivating them to engage in American democracy, and instilling the value of lifelong participation. ALL IN is an initiative of Civic Nation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Learn more here.
