Today’s episode:

We’ve spent a lot of time on this podcast lamenting what has gone wrong on U.S. college campuses and within higher education overall. But, there are initiatives being launched and new schools and departments being founded that should give students and aspiring students (and their families) a lot of hope.

Joining us today to discuss:

Will Inboden, professor and director of the Alexander Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education at the University of Florida. He is the author of a terrific book called: “The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, the Cold War, and the World on the Brink.” And, announced today, Will Inboden is the finalist to be the next Provost of University of Texas at Austin.

Eric Cohen has been the CEO of Tikvah since 2007. He started and serves as the publisher of Mosaic, and founded the journal called The New Atlantis. Tikvah has partnered with the Hamilton School at UF on a unique program that will be explored in this episode.
