But those stories don't always reach those who need to hear them.

That’s why C&S created a practical storytelling toolkit to help campus leaders find the strongest stories already happening on their campus.

Great work is happening on college campuses every day to prepare students for civic life.

Students, faculty and alumni are engaging with tough issues, building connections across differences, and solving problems in the community.

Moments that Matter is a Carnegie Young Leaders team focused on strengthening connections between high school students and seniors living in retirement communities. Their project is built on the idea that small acts of kindness can be transformative 🧡 🪴

🗣️ We don’t need a generation of polite debaters. We need young people who are prepared to navigate a world where truth is contested and solving problems across differences is vital.

“I’m not asking you to change the world. I’m asking you to participate in it.”

At C&S, we see this spirit everywhere. Young people are not apathetic or disconnected. Our research shows 9 in 10 Gen Zers want to help solve problems in their communities.

The challenge is not motivation. It’s whether we create the opportunities, relationships, and communities that help young people show up for one another and participate in shaping the future together.

What shapes your view of higher ed?

Maybe you’re…
💵 an ROI Skeptic wondering if college is worth the cost
🤝 a Civic-Minded Reformer who wants colleges more connected to communities
🔍️ a Constructive Critic who sees value but thinks higher ed needs to change

“It’s not about conquering or winning the day. It’s about understanding and being understood."

“Leaders are adapting. Professors are rediscovering their sense of mission. There’s a ton of good stuff happening on campus these days, if you’re only willing to see it.”

This weekend, our president Raj Vinnakota delivered @Muhlenberg's commencement speech. His message reflects the work C&S believes in - challenging grads to resist becoming spectators of their own lives in a world that rewards watching over participating.

There’s a lot of takes out there about higher ed, but our research tells a more nuanced story.

Americans still believe in college. They want these institutions to succeed. But they’re also asking for change. See what they're saying: https://t.co/IqfDOrAf7H

“There’s a little dopamine hit when you find something in common...”

On The Civic Generation pod, Stefanie Sanford talks about that spark of connection when you meet someone new and realize you’re not as different as you thought.

[C&S @helloCandS]

The ambivalent majority is waiting to be convinced…

Most Americans are neither champions nor critics of higher ed. Nearly half (45%) fall into a movable middle. These are people who believe in the promise of college but want to see it evolve.
