American Democracy Project
Established in 2003 as a nonpartisan initiative of AASCU in partnership with The New York Times, the American Democracy Project (ADP) is a network of nearly 300 state colleges and universities collaborating to deepen the impact public higher education institutions have on preparing students who:
- Are empowered to be engaged and to lead in the future of our democracy
- Directly contribute to a more competitive workforce and a stronger local and national economy
- Have knowledge of the structures and processes of democracy and reflect on those processes
- Learn to develop civic skills of critical thinking, deliberation, thoughtful listening and dialogue, particularly with opposing views and perspectives
- Engage with their community
