Preview:
Enormous questions confront America in this historic presidential year. But regardless of who moves into the Oval Office in January, we know this much: America will need more from our colleges and universities in 2025, not less, and we need to plan for that.
Name an area of importance to our future—training for the millions of new workers in technology and other fields, the proper role of artificial intelligence, advances in green energy, our response to climate change, the promise of genetic science. In those and countless other areas, solutions are being incubated right now on America’s college campuses.
