The Brady Program in ethics and civic life creates a scholarly community for undergraduates, faculty and graduate students to learn and to research the serious questions about how we live as citizens, how we have courage as leaders, and how we make significant changes in our communities, both locally and globally. The program supports sixteen undergraduate students for a three-year course of study and practical experience about the nature of the good life, the nature of justice, the meaning of public service, and core values in the humanities and sciences: integrity, veracity, fidelity, courage. When we ask “What makes a good leader?” we are beginning one of our most serious civic conversations.
