Today PEN America announced their Champions of Higher Education campaign. Campus Compact served as a thought partner with PEN as they organized and developed this important initiative that engages President Emeriti from across the country—many of whom have also made a profound difference in the work and mission of Campus Compact over the years.
Campus Compact is committed to ensuring that students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be active and effective participants in our democracy. To achieve this, their learning—both in classrooms and in communities—needs to be supported by a deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and free expression. Thank you to PEN America.
