"Antioch’s future is bright. This is our moment, and we will meet it. Why? Thanks to our rich and compelling history and our committed, curious, and courageous people. For almost two centuries, Antioch has modeled the kind of socially engaged, experiential, learner-centered education that the world needs now more than ever. This long history, plus the progress that Antiochians make each and every day, positions Antioch to be a national, even global model for connecting, teaching, learning, research, and practice. "
