As we celebrated the graduation of our inaugural Academy for Civic Education and Democracy (ACED) cohort this summer, we recognized the dedication and hard work of the students throughout the program. We are excited to see the impact they will make as emerging leaders.
The George Washington University College of Professional Studies and the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute united in October 2023 to launch the new Academy. This dynamic partnership is driving innovation in civic engagement and leadership while honoring the legacies of two influential American Presidents: Ronald Reagan and George Washington.
