Initiative
Higher Education Democracy Exchange (HEDEX)
Connecting the people, resources, and practices advancing democratic engagement across higher education.
Higher education has long played a vital role in preparing students for civic life. Across campuses and communities, educators, researchers, students, and partners are advancing this work every day—but often without easy ways to connect across institutions, share what they’re learning, or adapt successful approaches.
HEDEX was created to help bridge those gaps. Whether you’re looking for teaching resources, collaborators, or opportunities to contribute your own expertise, HEDEX helps you discover new ideas, connect with peers, and build on what’s working at other institutions.
Developed by AAC&U and Campus Compact in partnership with More Perfect and the University of Virginia’s Karsh Institute of Democracy, HEDEX is designed to grow alongside campuses and communities.
