Monday, October 30, 2023
Online Event
12:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
12:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
This panel aims to explore the civic role of academic institutions: How do we define civic engagement? What are the responsibilities of these institutions to foster civic engagement in students? In what ways can colleges and universities serve as civic actors to address challenges locally, nationally and globally? And what role does it play in the current landscape of censorious legislation and self-censorship in college studies in the United States?
Dr. Margee Ensign is the president of the American University of Bulgari, former president of the American University of Nigeria, a well-respected scholar on international development, and a New College of Florida alumna (’77).
Jonathan Becker is the director for the Center of Civic Engagement, executive vice president and vice president of academic affairs at Bard College, and vice chancellor of the Open Society University Network (OSUN).
