Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life

Alexandra Dingle's, A24, civic path began in Tisch College’s 1+4 Bridge Year Program in Pune, India as a teacher's assistant in a low-income government school. She was inspired by this experience, and her time working in a refugee camp in Greece, to travel the world researching and understanding different educational systems and structures for students in displacement or in conflict areas. She is now a VIA Global Community Fellow and mentor to First Year Global Program students in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Read more about Alexandra's experiences: https://lnkd.in/e3MfF6pp

Great to speak with Sara Weissman of Inside Higher Ed last week about the role of community colleges in U.S. democracy (& the great work of Clarissa Unger, Students Learn Students Vote Coalition, & others!): https://lnkd.in/exAhxggz "Gismondi is excited to see voting rights advocates engage in “high-profile efforts to make sure that, when we think about what it means for higher education to be serving our democracy, that community colleges are being centered in that conversation,” he said. “I think the only way for us to build the democracy that we want is to think in new ways and not be stuck in processes that are just perpetuating inequities.”"

Check out this incredible piece about ShaSha Kingston, a 2024 Presidential Award for Civic Life winner, and her leadership with Tufts Office Of Sustainability. Tufts University "Climate resiliency is important to me. With the changing climate, you’re already seeing impacts, even just in the Boston area, such as heat or flooding. Creating natural solutions to combat these issues, to adapt and to be resilient, is going to be important for human survival." https://lnkd.in/emTZ4Z5s
