State legislatures around the country are stepping up to give civic education a permanent home on campus. We call them Schools of Civic Thought. These schools, centers, and colleges are state-funded, independently governed, and focused on high-level civic education in the liberal arts tradition.

While these schools have different curricula and academic specialties, they all share a common goal: to mold good, informed citizens.

This national reform movement, ([link removed]) launched by SCETL at Arizona State University, is quickly spreading around the country. New departments ([link removed]) , colleges, and centers of civic thought and leadership have now been established in public universities in eight states — Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.

Now, these programs are bringing an influx of new academic jobs to previously disappearing fields, re-introducing lost college courses, and improving K-12 civics education in their respective states.

Join us on George Washington's birthday for a conversation with celebrated Washington Scholar and leader of the Schools of Civic Thought movement, Paul Carrese to discuss the future of this exciting movement, and how it all connects to our first president's call for strong civic education.
