Nurturing Future Leaders

It is was really interesting to hear about the unique position that higher education is in in addressing social injustice. Ajay Nair, the president of Arcadia University, provided interesting insight into understanding how university leadership addresses inequalities and strives to allocate resources to fix issues that they see. Both him and Professor Bradley spoke on the importance of encouraging student activism. President Nair provided an interesting point when he said that students should feel comfortable raising their voices on issues, and the true experiences of the students at the university should match the promotional materials of the college. They both offered a perspective I hadn’t thought about before – colleges are teaching the next generation of leaders, so they should encourage students to take the lead on issues that are important to them.
