“You wisely chose not to live in an echo chamber but to pursue your education at a college that in line with our founding president’s inaugural address embraces the idea that the best learning community thoughtfully, intentionally, brings together students who identities, experiences, interests, and opinions vary greatly. Cultivating interest in people who care about things that may leave you indifferent or hold positions counter to your own is not only a key skill for life, but a foundation and aspiration of democratic societies.”
