SEATTLE, Washington (CNN) -- College students grappling with the burdens of a full class and social schedule can barely find enough time to do laundry, let alone have a part-time job or an internship.

However, some students are answering their civic obligations and getting involved in the political process -- on and off campus.

Registering new voters, canvassing for political candidates, managing campaigns and even running for local and state office -- students are stepping up and taking action, and pushing time management to the extreme.

In the spring of his freshman year, University of Washington sophomore Bryce McKibben was appointed director of the student union's Office of Governmental Relations and is responsible for advancing legislative issues important to university students in the Washington state capital.
