On October 21, 2022, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni honored John McWhorter with our Philip Merrill Award for Outstanding Contributions to Liberal Arts Education.
Glenn Loury, Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences at Brown University, provides a compelling opening tribute.
Launched in 1995, we are the only organization that works with alumni, donors, trustees, and education leaders across the United States to support liberal arts education, uphold high academic standards, safeguard the free exchange of ideas on campus, and ensure that the next generation receives an intellectually rich, high-quality college education at an affordable price.
