Carnegie Leadership for Public Purpose recipients announced
The American Council on Education (ACE) has announced the inaugural recipients of the Carnegie Leadership for Public Purpose Classification.
ACE, the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University, and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching have recognized 25 U.S. colleges and universities that have committed to campus-wide efforts to advance leadership in pursuit of public goods such as justice, equity, diversity, and liberty. Among the selected institutions—across 19 states—15 are public, including two service academies, and seven are minority serving institutions.
Recipients include Boise State, Florida International, Fort Hays State, James Madison, Oral Roberts, and Valparaiso universities; Claremont McKenna, Gettysburg, and Wartburg colleges; the U.S. Coast Guard Academy; Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences; and University of Cincinnati.
“For several years the Doerr Institute for New Leaders has substantively supported the American Council on Education and the Carnegie Foundation’s collaborative efforts to establish the classification,” said Doerr Institute for New Leaders director Bernard B. Banks. “We are excited about continuing such efforts in service of improving higher education’s commitment to fostering integrated and intentional leader development for students.”
