Core Commitments: Educating Students for Personal and Social Responsibility

Project Materials

To support campuses in their efforts to make education for personal and social responsibility pervasive across the institution, AAC&U has developed a variety of project materials. These include an institutional matrix to help campus leaders map an institution’s overall commitment to education for personal and social responsibility, presentation and publicity materials, and bibliographies.
