Core Commitments

Advisory Board

The Core Commitments advisory board is comprised of distinguished higher education scholars and researchers who will help to guide this national effort to make personal and social responsibility a central focus of college learning. Each member brings to the project a wealth of knowledge and experience in one or more of the five dimensions of personal and social responsibility on which the initiative is based. The group will provide rich intellectual framing for the project and help to shape the direction of many of its activities over the next two years.
