- What if higher education were to take a leadership role, as it did in the space race and the war on cancer, in preparing students and providing the information and knowledge to achieve a just and sustainable society? What would higher education look like? The education of all professionals would reflect a new approach to learning and practice. A college or university would operate as a fully integrated community that models social and biological sustainability itself and in its interdependence with the local, regional and global community. The educational experience of students is a function of what they are taught, how they are taught, the way in which the university manages, conducts research, operates, purchases, designs facilities, invests and interacts with local communities . In many cases, we think of teaching, research, operations and relations with local communities as separate activities; they are not. All parts of the university are critical in helping to create transformative change in the individual and collective mindset. Everything that happens at a university and every impact, positive and negative, of university activities shape the knowledge, skills and values of the students. Future education must connect head, heart and hand
