This publication builds on the findings of the 2007 study by Dey and Associates that served as a basis for three previously published Core Commitments project
reports.
According to the introduction to Promising Practices, “A 2007 study of education for personal and social responsibility organized by AAC&U confirms there is strong interest on the part of undergraduate students today to engage in practices designed to enhance these outcomes. More than 90 percent of twenty-four thousand students surveyed at twenty-three institutions agreed that education for personal and social responsibility—which encompasses outcomes such as striving for excellence, contributing to a larger community, and taking seriously the perspectives of others—should be a major focus of college.”
