An increasingly polarized, privatized, and customized information/news/media infrastructure, in addition to a global pandemic, and increasing climate-change related disasters has created a pressing need for us to educate students, not only on how to conduct academic research, but on how to make sense of the information systems that are such a big part of their daily lives. Increasingly, people's access to accurate information, and critical thinking ability to sort through mis/mal-information, is being recognized as a social determinant of health. Students need to learn not only how to detect and combat mis/mal-information, but to understand how those information systems work, and the political, economical, and cultural forces underpinning them. While they receive this education ad hoc in various classes and contexts, MHC could create a more formalized curriculum as part of general education, co-curricular enrichment, and possibly other areas. This could position us as leaders and innovators as I don't see this really happening at other institutions in explicit and formalized ways. A committee with educators, librarians, and technologists would be best suited to lead this work.

Ideally, our Strategic Plan should be asking larger questions: (1) What is the role of a higher education institution and a liberal arts college in a changing world? (2) How do we engage with and have an impact on the issues of our time, while also maintaining our timeless values? (3) What are our responsibilities to the world beyond our campus, and consistent with our values? This should be only about "who are we?" but about "what could we be?"
