Closing Paragraph "Overall, graduate education is not explicitly preparing students to understand and engage in work for the public good. However, the data suggest that aspiring and new faculty members are looking for balance and integration, collegiality, and meaningfulness in their work and lives. Opportunities to learn about and engage in work that explicitly serves the public good could help them achieve these goals." |
