Educating for the Common Good: Liberal Arts, Applied Learning, and Civic Purpose

We sit down with William G. (Jerry) Berberet, the 2025 recipient of the prestigious Ernest L. Boyer Award and the founding executive director of what is now the New American Colleges & Universities. Jerry reflects on his decades in academia, the enduring moral vision of Ernest Boyer, the role of leadership and innovation, and his compelling, purpose-driven vision for higher education — an imperative every bit as vital today as it was thirty years ago. Host: Sean Creighton
