The ICDP is a partnership between 6 institutions: CSU Bakersfield; DePauw University; Harvard; St. Philip’s College; Santa Fe College; & Stanford. Together, they offer a yearlong fellowship for undergrads focused on cultivating moral, civic, & intellectual virtues to engage in meaningful dialogues.

With funding from the Educating Character Initiative, ICDP will grow significantly over the next 3 years. We will develop a shareable database of training materials & pedagogical tools, pilot its dialogue model across campuses, & recruit 30–45 new institutions to form additional dialogue cohorts.
