Our focus on talents and capacities—writing and speaking clearly, analyzing complex problems from multiple perspectives, working collaboratively to formulate approaches to unsolvable problems, compassion, resilience, self-discipline, and moral courage—is one of our greatest strengths. At the same time, the specific subjects, programs, and methods through which we develop these talents change over time—in light of the changing economy and world.
