This article from The Chronicle of Higher Education features St. John's College and mentions Touchstones Discussion Project's ties to the College. The article reminds us that the deepest learning often comes not from being told what to think, but from discussing ideas together. It's a powerful affirmation of what we promote every day at Touchstones: dialogue not only builds community, it has the power to transform the people in a community.

This Pride Month, we honor the power of open, respectful dialogue in building understanding across differences. 🌈

At Touchstones, we believe that every voice matters — and that meaningful conversations can help create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued. Pride is not only a celebration of identity, but also an invitation to listen deeply, speak honestly, and engage with empathy.

Honoring Service and Inspiring the Future.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage and sacrifice protect the freedoms that make education, opportunity, and progress possible for all.

Touchstones is committed to ensuring that the next generation carries forward the values of service, integrity, and learning. Today, we reflect with gratitude — and continue our mission to educate, empower, and inspire.
