Confidence in higher education is being tested like never before. Poll after poll shows that the public increasingly questions whether colleges are worth the cost or whether students leave prepared for life beyond the classroom.

These universities are reaching students, and the campus community, through special events focused on productive dialogue. 

Inaugural progress report highlights the remarkable strides college presidents have made in fostering free expression, critical inquiry, and civil discourse during an exceptionally challenging year for higher education.

Raj Vinnakota talks with Kristen Cambell, CEO of PACE, and Jeremy Haefner, Chancellor, University of Denver, on the Keeping PACE podcast about the challenges colleges face when they try to take on civic preparation in a major way.

Participating presidents will take campus-specific and collective action, reflecting three shared Civic Commitments.
