Harvard's 'Making Caring Common' Project Addresses Youth Purpose Crisis and College Admissions

Harvard's 'Making Caring Common' Project Addresses Youth Purpose Crisis and College Admissions

Harvard's 'Making Caring Common' (MCC) project has released its fourth 'Turning the Tide' report, highlighting a significant crisis in meaning and purpose among young people in the U.S. The report, co-authored by Dr. Rick Weissbourd and Trisha Ross Anderson, reveals that 34% of teens and 51% of young adults aged 19-25 report having little to no meaning or purpose in their lives. This initiative, which began a decade ago, aims to reshape college admissions to prioritize ethical character, reduce excessive achievement pressure, and promote access and equity. MCC works with parents and educators, offering free resources to foster caring and compassion in children. The project emphasizes that colleges are interested in applicants' ethical character beyond just academic achievements, a message that has been reinforced through changes in essay questions and recommendation forms in some institutions.

Ohio State University Launches Career Allies Academy to Enhance Graduate Student Career Support

Ohio State University's Imagined Futures Initiative has launched the Career Allies Academy, a program designed to equip faculty and staff with the tools and knowledge to better support graduate students pursuing diverse career paths, both within and outside academia.

Over eight sessions, with homework assignments, participants work towards implementing concrete, sustainable changes within their own graduate programs. The program aims to bridge the gap between doctoral training and the evolving job market, recognizing that many faculty mentors feel unprepared to guide students toward non-academic careers.

U.S. District Court Blocks DHS Rule Ending Duration of Status Policy for International Students Nationwide

U.S. District Court Blocks DHS Rule Ending Duration of Status Policy for International Students Nationwide

U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV has granted nationwide preliminary relief, blocking a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) final rule that sought to end the Duration of Status (D/S) policy for international students, exchange visitors, and representatives of foreign media. This ruling prevents DHS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from implementing the rule while the lawsuit continues. Consequently, the long-standing Duration of Status framework will remain in effect across the United States. The lawsuit was filed by several organizations, including NAFSA: Association of International Educators, the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, the American Federation Of Teachers (AFT), and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW). These groups argued that the rule would cause significant harm to international students, higher education institutions, and the U.S. economy.
