As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, questions about citizenship, civic responsibility, and the role of higher education in sustaining the American experiment are more urgent than ever. Join Jed Atkins, Dean of the School of Civic Life and Leadership (SCiLL) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, for a timely conversation on how colleges and universities can prepare students not only for careers, but for thoughtful participation in our constitutional democracy.
In discussion with Jenna Robinson, president of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, Dr. Atkins will explore the mission of civic education, the challenges facing higher education today, and the opportunities institutions have to cultivate informed, engaged citizens for the next 250 years of the American republic.
Don’t miss this thoughtful conversation on the future of higher education and the enduring promise of the American experiment!
