As a double major in political science and English literature, Byran Whitehead ’25 spent his time at University of Redlands studying systems of power—how they’re built, how they function, and how everyday people can influence them. It wasn’t just theory for him. Through campus voter registration drives, ballot education campaigns, and community outreach, Whitehead turned his academic interests into meaningful civic action. Whitehead’s commitment was recognized at the 2025 Honors Convocation and Recognition Ceremony, where he became the first Redlands student named to the ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll, a national award celebrating nonpartisan student leaders who champion democratic engagement on their campuses. “The award is incredibly meaningful,” Whitehead said. “This university is situated in a very politically contentious town, and civic engagement is so important.” Read the full story: https://www.redlands.edu/bulldog-bites/2025/all-in-for-democracy?utm_source=facebook_caption&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=all_in_bulldog_bites #UofR #UniversityofRedlands #BulldogBites (fb)
