Core Commitments: Educating Students for Personal and Social Responsibility
Overview
A signature AAC&U initiative, Core Commitments: Educating Students for Personal and Social Responsibility
- focuses national attention on the importance of students’ exploring questions about ethical responsibility to self and others,
- aims to reclaim and revitalize the academy’s role in fostering students’ development of personal and social responsibility, and
