    Episode 7: What Does it Mean to Be Part of a Community?

    For our final episode, we asked nearly 100 people the same

    question: What does it mean to be part of a community? As you might expect, we

    received a wide array of answers. People shared what their community means to

    them, and what they view as their obligation to their community. Throughout

    this series, we’ve talked about building stronger and more inclusive

    communities. In this episode, we’ll discuss why community matters, and offer

    suggestions of what we might do to repair the social bonds that have been

    deteriorating for decades.

    When we were growing up, students were divided

    in two paths: College and Non-College. That type of thinking has changed. How

    do we ensure that everyone gets a quality education and goes on to a successful
