Interested in adding real-world content and practical application to your college course work? Dream of a Nation offers 60 essays written by organizers and experts seeking solutions for our country’s most pressing issues.

Dream of a Nation is not a typical textbook, anthology or compilation. It’s a civic engagement guide that offers solution oriented essays that will have students engaging, questioning, and exploring 12 critical issue areas applying to course work in Communication, Environmental Studies, Teacher Training, and Political Science

The work doesn’t end in the classroom though! The Dream of a Nation team wants to see work from students across the country that have completed projects to help increase awareness and visibility around an issue or solution.

Dream of a Nation challenges college and university students to engage, interact and create using the Dream of a Nation. Don’t forget to submit your projects to be entered in national contests sponsored by our staff and partners for prizes and recognition on our website.
