About NSLVE

NSLVE Logo

We are a leading venue for nonpartisan, applied research, resources, and advocacy on college student political learning and engagement in democracy.

An important note for our community: the Institute for Democracy and Higher Education (IDHE), formerly of Tisch College, has moved to AAC&U, though the NSLVE study remains right here at Tisch College. Learn more about AAC&U’s IDHE here.
