At this year’s Frontiers of Democracy conference hosted by Tufts University's Tisch College CIRCLE, President Danielle R. Holley delivered a keynote address on the vital role higher education plays in protecting and promoting democracy today.

We are proud to see President Holley leading by example: Reminding us why higher ed institutions matter in this critical moment and inspiring educators, leaders and students alike to stay engaged and ask the hard questions.

Thank you to CIRCLE Director (and MHC alum!) Miriam Aschkenasy ’94 for hosting such an impactful gathering!
