David Hoffman is UMBC's Assistant Director of Student Life for Civic Agency.
Forbes' CivicNation Voice website has published the second in a series of blog posts I'm writing with leaders from the American Democracy Project, NASPA, and The Democracy Commitment. The posts are part of a national conversation about refocusing and energizing higher education's civic learning and democratic engagement work.
The first post, Hope and Strategy for a Thriving Democracy, provided an overview of the national conversation. The second post articulates a vision for a thriving democracy that can transcend the challenges of the present day: a democracy in which "the latent energy of Americans yearning for inclusion, connection, and collective agency" is unleashed.
