Congress to Campus brings together former Members of Congress and today’s youth to increase civic literacy and participation. A bipartisan pair of former Members are sent to college, university and community college campuses for two day visits. During the visit, former Members conduct classes, hold community forums, meet informally with students and faculty, visit high schools and civic organizations, and do interviews and talk show appearances with local press and media. This setting allows students to discover, on a more personal basis, what participation in a democracy entails.
The aim of Congress to Campus is to engage students and provide inspiration that will lead to greater democratic participation; whether it is in the arena of public service or something as simple as voting.
Congress to Campus is run by FMC in partnership with the Stennis Center for Public Service.

CHANGING MINDS
The Congress to Campus visit was outstanding. The congressmen provided tremendous insight into the lives and roles of elected officials. It was one of the best academic opportunities I have had as an undergraduate.
The Congress to Campus visit was a TREMENDOUS SUCCESS! Of all of the events I have done for students over the years this is, by far, THE BEST!
