In an era of contentious politics and ideological polarization, many students are looking for opportunities to engage more constructively in public life. In the spirit of Ohio State’s motto – “Education for Citizenship” – the Practicing Civil Discourse for Citizenship certificate from the Center for Ethics and Human Values (CEHV) offers students the opportunity to learn more about, and to better practice, civil discourse. Students may also wish to demonstrate their commitment to civil discourse to potential employers.
