Building Blocks
Innovation in Action
Case Studies for Change in Higher Education
These are stories of institutional, programmatic, and curricular change at colleges and universities that have been shared with ACLS. We include them here as exemplars of the wide range of initiatives taking place at institutions across the U.S. and as inspiration for those who wish to reimagine what’s possible for higher education.
We continue to collect stories from our ACLS networks, including Building Blocks for a New Academy. If you have a story to share, please contact us at [email protected].
