<span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">A much discussed report, “Turning the Tide: Inspiring Concern for Others and the Common Good Through College Admissions,” by Richard Weissbourd has received significant attention
since its release. The report raises a critique of the college admissions process and how it sends young people a message that emphasizes personal success rather than concern for others and the common good. Among the recommendations is a call to college
admissions across the country to balance the markers of individual achievement with evidence of service as a true concern for others and the common good. We recommend reading it and joining the conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
