‘I consider Campus Compact to be one of the most enlightened and farsighted ventures that American colleges and universities have undertaken in recent years. It provides evidence that there are, in the world of higher education, people more than willing to pitch in, people of vision and commitment.’
John Gardner,
Former U.S. Secretary Of Health, Education And Welfare and
Former President of the Carnegie Corporation
