Alverno gets out vote, students get out of class

While students at most colleges and universities in Wisconsin will have to find time between classes to cast ballots Nov. 4, those at the 2,700-student Alverno College in Milwaukee get the day off to vote and get involved in the political process.

It’s a first for the women’s college, which appears to be the only college in Wisconsin, and one of few in the nation, to make election day a holiday.
