Ella Brownlee named to ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll

A Heartland Community College student has been recognized in a national effort for college civic engagement. 

Heartland student Ella Brownlee has been named to the 2025 ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll by the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge organization. 

The ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll awards college students doing outstanding work to advance nonpartisan democratic engagement at participating campuses. Brownlee joins a group of 232 students recognized for their voter registration, education, and voter turnout efforts. 

Brownlee, a sophomore at Heartland studying communication, previously completed her Certified Nursing Assistant Certificate and worked as a CNA and Home Healthcare Provider. She serves as the Executive Director of Heartland’s Student Leaders in Community engagement (SLiCE) where she has organized multiple community service events including a drive for the college food pantry. Brownlee served as trip leader during Heartland’s 2025 Alternative Spring Break trip to Memphis, TN, where students engaged in volunteer work for the Living Land and Waters Project. 

“During her short time at Heartland Ella’s record of leadership has been extraordinary,” said Sarah Diel-Hunt, Heartland Vice President of Enrollment and Student Services. “She has become a servant leader on campus, raising awareness and advocating for student engagement in service.”
