Honored to represent Arcadia University at the Global Forum on Higher Education: Renewal of the Democratic and Civic Mission at Charles University in Prague. As public trust in institutions declines, the role of higher education has never been more critical. This moment demands that we reclaim our civic mission—not as a luxury for a few, but as a public good that serves everyone. Higher education isn’t just for some—it must be inclusive, accessible, and rooted in equity. At Arcadia, we’re committed to making that vision real. We believe universities must foster critical thinking, civic responsibility, and social connection—foundations of both democracy and public trust. Now is the time to act. To lead. To renew our purpose. 📣 Join us in advancing higher education as a force for democratic renewal and shared progress. #CivicMission #HigherEdForAll #PublicGood #GlobalForum #CharlesUniversity #ArcadiaUniversity #Democracy #LeadershipInAction
