1) I was thrilled to tour our Alger Hall project—the first living learning community in the Commonwealth dedicated to civic leadership. The Civic Leadership Living Learning Community, with new home for @JMUCivic , will offer students a dynamic, hands-on environment…

2) to explore the principles and practices of civic engagement. We designed this community for students passionate about public service, civic impact, and freedom of thought, combining academic learning with impactful experiences outside the classroom.

It was a beautiful day on campus at @Georgetown. I was honored to join a brilliant group of civic scholars and practitioners to explore research on—and ultimately solutions to—affective polarization in our country and communities.

Our @JMU Dukes are 5-1 going into Homecoming week after a strong win over Louisiana. I am so proud of our student-athletes and the character they show each and every day (my son pictured).

[David C. Kirkpatrick @dc_kirkpatrick]

Great win for @JMU !

[David C. Kirkpatrick @dc_kirkpatrick]

We are tremendously grateful to Dr. Peter Levine for joining us to mark Constitution Day 2025 @JMU . We had a stimulating conversation on the role of civic life in democracy and higher education.

[President Jim @JMUPresidentJim]

My first time seeing the progress in Carrier Library. What a way to start the week!

[David C. Kirkpatrick @dc_kirkpatrick]
