Advancing the next generation of engaged citizens
Created by, with, and for college presidents, the consortium brings together a diverse group of campus leaders from a broad range of higher education institutions across the country. Members share the perspective that it is the responsibility of higher education to equip students with the critical civic skills to participate effectively in a democracy, engage in civil discourse, and express themselves responsibly.
The consortium empowers higher education leaders with essential tools to champion three Civic Commitments across curriculum and campus life. Presidents engage in peer learning, exchange ideas and best practices, and collaborate with students and faculty.
