With more than 1,000 participating campuses and nearly 10 million students engaged, the initiative has become a national movement for strengthening democracy through higher education.

Through her passion, creativity, and advocacy, Daniela has played a key role in building a culture of civic awareness and responsibility among her peers. Her work embodies the spirit of the ALL IN Challenge’s mission to “graduate students into voters.”

“We are incredibly proud of Daniela and the work she’s done to encourage informed, active participation in our democracy,” said [Insert Name], [Insert Title] at the University of Houston. “Her recognition by the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge is a testament not only to her dedication, but also to the University of Houston’s continued commitment to empowering student voices and leadership.”
