"Hope isn't just possible in this moment; it's essential, and it can be found in the heart of our campuses, communities, and students. At Compact26, we come together around our shared belief that higher education's greatest strength lies in its capacity to serve the public good. Join us as we explore ways to turn our hopes into realities through intentional action, shared storytelling, collaborative partnerships, and compassionate connection—so that we may collectively navigate the challenges of the moment and deepen our commitment to higher education's public mission."
