For decades, a college or university was considered 鈥済ood鈥 if it was exclusive, wealthy, and prestigious鈥攍ike a country club, but with lectures instead of golf. But under political and market pressures, that definition is beginning to shift to schools that do good鈥攂y providing quality degrees at reasonable prices to non-wealthy students while encouraging those students to become engaged citizens.
Please join 麻豆果冻传媒 and the Washington Monthly for a pair of panel discussions with individuals on the cutting edge of this shift, as featured in the Washington Monthly鈥檚 newly-released 2019 College Guide and Rankings.
