Recently, The Princeton Review ranked the University of Dallas (UD) highly in its index of student happiness. President Thomas Hibbs joins Jeremy to discuss why UD students are among America’s happiest college students—and it has nothing to do with gourmet cafeterias or rock climbing walls. Dr. Hibbs also explores the implications of eroding trust in America’s institutions during a time of continued civil unrest and discusses the things colleges can do to counter continued social alienation, to include a renewed focus on the act of teaching.
