Campus Compact joins shared commitment to Engage all College Students in Civic Learning and Democracy Engagement
Campus Compact today joins forces with dozens of higher education and student success organizations to release a Shared Commitment that calls on the higher education community to make democracy learning a top priority and take concerted action to build Americans’ readiness to tackle urgent public problems.
