Feature: The American Democracy Project

The American Democracy Project (ADP), housed at the American Association of State College and Universities (AASCU), aims to help institutions produce college and university graduates who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and experiences they need to be informed and engaged members of their communities. ADP integrates reciprocity, co-design, attentive listening, and mutual respect into all of our programming thanks to the ongoing guidance and thought leadership provided by the ADP Steering Committee and Civic Fellows. Through programming that encourages professional development and collaboration, ADP focuses on integrating curricular and student life experiences, promoting civic agency, developing civic- and equity-minded pedagogies, and fostering experiential and community-based learning.
