Abstract: This work analyzes college activism with a specific focus on the undergraduate chapters of the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina. Specifically, it provides a detailed history of the national office, college involvement in Twentieth Century progressive social movements, and each active undergraduate chapter of the ACLU in North Carolina to analyze the state of its college programming and draw lessons from histories that might aid the organization in the future. The history of the national ACLU and college involvement in social movements were collected by secondary sources, while the chapter histories were collected through primary sources -- such as interviews -- and secondary sources. The work finds that there is room for a more active college development program within the organization and lists guidelines for implementing one.
