Greensboro Newsmakers: The Civic Health Conversation

Thank you to our Anchor Sponsor: Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro
Newsmakers Mission: Strengthening Civic Health in Guilford County

Higher education plays a formative role in fostering civic engagement

and activating grassroots leadership. This forum spotlights higher education’s

critical place in teaching civic literacy – developing students to become engaged

community members and inspiring the next wave of leaders equipped to propel

the community forward. The discussion will convene community leaders to

address key questions including:

■ What is the role that higher education has traditionally played in civic

literacy and community engagement? What have we learned and what

must we do better to develop plugged-in students motivated to be part of

the fabric of Guilford County?

■ How must education institutions think differently in this changing climate

to develop students that are both prepared and motivated to be engaged

community members?
