• How did ACLS place over 40 scholars in jobs in 3 months during COVID when it typically takes 15 to 24 months & why does this prove humanities can pivot quickly?
• Why does the Public Humanities Graduate Fellows program break the myth of the English major barista by connecting PhD scholars with finance, law, healthcare & social work organizations?
• How can the new academy vision help scholars link arms around creativity & experimentation by co creating knowledge with communities outside academia & talking about humanities work with the same excitement we bring to students?
