Anarchy NXNW: Creating Good in Times of Turmoil

Description:

Lost in the narrative about how the region fosters progress, the Pacific NW has long been a cradle for innovation & social change. Now, in a country eager to reunite, pioneering examples of how education advances culture are emerging from the frontlines of the “anarchy”: universities bridging the gap between talent & opportunity; activists supporting increased access to learning & career opportunities; police turning to education to improve training & ensure communities are protected justly.
