Amid the “higher-education hellscape,” there may be one place where college life persists in some semblance of its ideal form, @ibogost argues. Are small liberal-arts colleges the last, best hope for undergraduates? https://t.co/lifOX62eET

What a pleasure to sit down with Lukas Luby-Prikot ‘26 from Amherst Political Union, which fosters nonpartisan political discourse on campus.

We talked about how he got involved, why open debates are important and how APU navigates divisive discussions. https://t.co/1DJ7vYHYOt

Eight months ago, after a long career in journalism, I joined ⁦@ACEducation to fight for higher education. But why do we do that? Here’s why: ⁩Higher education builds America. Today we make the point with a full-page display in the NYT. An open letter to the candidates.

Welcome home, #Amherst2028! 🦣💜

Cultivating a small residential community is essential to the Amherst vision of liberal arts education.

An increased focus on attracting, enrolling and retaining students from rural backgrounds will contribute to the tapestry of perspectives that help strengthen our community.

[Amherst College @AmherstCollege]

Amherst College joins the STARS Network, a coalition of 32 colleges and universities dedicated to helping students from small-town and rural communities in the U.S. enroll in, succeed at and graduate from the college or university of their choice.

The @FolgerLibrary, which houses Henry Folger's vast collection of Shakespearean works, recently unveiled a dramatic, new renovation.

Folger was a graduate of the class of 1879, and the library was placed in the trust of Amherst College in 1930. https://t.co/iz1pW9wGFg
