Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life reposted this
Great to speak with Sara Weissman of Inside Higher Ed last week about the role of community colleges in U.S. democracy (& the great work of Clarissa Unger, Students Learn Students Vote Coalition, & others!): https://lnkd.in/exAhxggz "Gismondi is excited to see voting rights advocates engage in “high-profile efforts to make sure that, when we think about what it means for higher education to be serving our democracy, that community colleges are being centered in that conversation,” he said. “I think the only way for us to build the democracy that we want is to think in new ways and not be stuck in processes that are just perpetuating inequities.”"

Check out this incredible piece about ShaSha Kingston, a 2024 Presidential Award for Civic Life winner, and her leadership with Tufts Office Of Sustainability. Tufts University "Climate resiliency is important to me. With the changing climate, you’re already seeing impacts, even just in the Boston area, such as heat or flooding. Creating natural solutions to combat these issues, to adapt and to be resilient, is going to be important for human survival." https://lnkd.in/emTZ4Z5s

Each spring, we are fortunate to send two exceptional Tisch College student leaders to the McDonald Conference for Leaders of Character at the United States Military Academy at West Point. The Academy’s mission to ‘…educate leaders of character for a lifetime of selfless service…” and the Tufts mission to produce graduates “who distinguish themselves as active citizens of the world” are two sides of the same coin. We are deeply grateful to Everett Spain, the West Point Leadership Center and Secretary Bob McDonald and Diane McDonald for their generosity in providing this amazing opportunity to our students. Todd Woodruff, PhD Bernard (Bernie) Banks, Ph.D. Tom Kolditz Sherri Sklarwitz Jessye Crowe-Rothstein Harrison Bazianos Francis Roche
As young people, there is nothing more inspiring than having the world offer us opportunities to become leaders of character who care for others and strive to make our planet a better place to live in. Recently, I had the honor of representing Tufts University at the McDonald Conference for Leaders of Character, at the United States Military Academy (USMA), West Point. The conference brings together a diverse group of the top undergraduate student leaders from across the globe with world-class senior leaders who act as mentors in a team-based, experiential event that bolsters leadership skills, fosters critical thinking and collaboration, and develops potential strategies for addressing pressing global issues. This year's conference theme was "Leading Innovation with Character". During the conference, I had the privilege of meeting with some of the world-class leaders and networking with other student leaders. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Diane Ryan and the Tisch College fraternity for providing me with such an incredible opportunity. #Leadership #MCLCExperience
