The work of College Presidents for Civic Preparedness allows us to look at scale, consistency and intersectionality with optimism. We are institutions of different ilks, but we share a core passion and mission and a commitment to best practices. The engagement with the Institute for Citizens & Scholars is key — it’s the spine from which we are all able to do better.
