“A Crucible Moment and our involvement with
sharing its findings have been critical for our work to advance civic learning and engagement. At our
first meeting about High-Impact Initiative, the
provost brought copies to discuss with our team.
We have used it to motivate our team,
deepen the discussion on campus, and to focus our work.” ~ Dave Roncolato,
Director of ACCEL
