American Democracy Project
The UNI American Democracy Project was initiated by Aaron Podolefsky, Provost and Vice- President of Academic Affairs, in 2003-2004. It is part of a multi-campus network of colleges and universities, which sponsor courses, workshops, and other events that focus on civic engagement. The posters in this collection were designed in 2016-2018 by Roy R. Behrens (Art Professor Emeritus) as promotional materials for the UNI APD. This collection is a subset of the larger Behrens Poster Archive.
