A great discussion with @UofSC legislative alums and members of the broader community for last evening’s timely event, “Can the Constitution Unify Americans?” with Yuval Levin. In a time of differing views, understanding our system—and its aims—matters more than ever. 🇺🇸📜

[Tommy Hodges @tehodges]

Combining education, workforce, economic, and community health data provides not only salient policy implications, but also the tools to support localized decision-making. @SCTEACHERtweets is well on the way to providing an exemplar for this work in SC.

[USC Education @UofSCEducation]

Dean Hodges enjoyed a great day at the Helios Education Foundation w/ Senators @BennettSCSenate & @SenRossTurner engaging in critical discussions on how research & innovation are helping students reach & complete college—a timely focus on expanding student success. #Heliosimpact

Our conversation with @CornelWest & Robert P. George @McCormickProf began with reflection on recent political violence and the need to restore civil discourse and civic friendship.
