As we release the next issue of Virtues & Vocations: Higher Education for Human Flourishing, we want to highlight a reflection by Middlebury College president Laurie Patton on “Generosity in Everyday Academic Life.” Patton writes, “Institutions of higher education are caught in the middle of this ideological polarization, and those who work in them struggle to perceive generosity or acknowledge it in others, much less than themselves.” She discusses examples from higher education and looks to religious traditions for wisdom to reimagine generosity in the academy.
